Both medical and surgical diseases commonly affect the pediatric respiratory system. Imaging has a crucial role to play in their management. Plain chest radiograph is still the single most important investigation. However, at times further workup is essential and then CT, MR imaging and other modalities provide detailed findings. Pediatric radiologist should be aware of the advantages and the limitations of each imaging technique so as to be able to use these judiciously, without duplicating information and at the minimum cost and radiation to the patient.
医学疾病和外科疾病都常影响小儿呼吸系统。影像学在其治疗中起着关键作用。胸部X线平片仍是最重要的单项检查。然而，有时进一步检查至关重要，此时CT、磁共振成像及其他检查方式可提供详细结果。儿科放射科医生应了解每种成像技术的优缺点，以便能够明智地使用这些技术，避免重复获取信息，并将对患者的成本和辐射降至最低。
