    Correct answer:

    Yes, it's COPD.

    The X-ray shows hyperinflated lungs, a flat diafragm and a relatively ‘long’ heart. Patients practically always have 10 pack years or more, although in some cases a genetic component is involved (alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency). Long black areas (without demarcation) are usually bullae.
