Abstract

In summary, imaging plays important roles in the diagnosis and treatment of children with community-acquired pneumonia. These roles include confirmation or exclusion of pneumonia, differentiation between viral and bacterial pneumonia, exclusion of other causes of symptoms, evaluation when the pneumonia fails to resolve, and evaluation of related complications.
