The answer is chest x-ray

Sarcoidosis is a disease that caused by the appearance of multiple granulomas, lump that made of inflammatory cells. Chest x-ray should show these lump easily, especially in the lungs because it is filled with air. I think MRI could also help to diagnose but x-ray should be easier and cheaper.
