Can an X-ray detect the cause of wheezing?

It depends on the cause of wheezing. Cases such as Lower-respiratory tract infections and croup can be easily diagnosed with chest X-ray with the appropriate clinical symptoms and signs on physical exam. If the wheezing is because of something compressing the airway from the outside (for example; an abnormal blood vessel, a big lymph node or an enlarged thyroid or thymus glands.. etc) then following an X-ray a CT might be warranted based on clinical suspicion after physical exam. Of note, sometimes chest X-ray can appear normal despite wheezing. Asthma causes wheezing but not the other way around. Wheezing is just a symptom to a number of diseases that can cause airway narrowing and in its self not a disease.
