Computed tomography is an important imaging modality in the evaluation of hydatid cyst. However, diagnosis of perforated hydatid cyst is very difficult and for this reason some radiological findings have been defined. An important finding is the ''air bubble'' sign. As a consequence of cyst rupture, secondary bacterial infections like bronchopneumonia or lung abscess may develop which complicate the clinical picture further. In the literature, the ''air bubble'' sign which is a relatively newly discovered radiological sign is reported to be very sensitive in establishing diagnosis. For this reason, in suspected cases of hydatid cyst, the air bubble sign may aid physicians in establishing diagnosis.
计算机断层扫描是评估包虫囊肿的重要成像方式。然而，诊断破裂的包虫囊肿非常困难，因此定义了一些影像学表现。一个重要的表现是“气泡”征。囊肿破裂的结果可能会引发继发性细菌感染，如支气管肺炎或肺脓肿，这会使临床情况进一步复杂化。在文献中，“气泡”征作为一种相对较新发现的影像学表现，据报道在确立诊断方面非常敏感。因此，在疑似包虫囊肿的病例中，气泡征可能有助于医生确立诊断。
