It is much more challenging in children than in adults to obtain computed tomography images of the lung parenchyma at optimal lung volumes without motion artifact. Some of the more common forms of diffuse lung disease in adults rarely occur in children, and several forms of diffuse lung disease are unique to children. Recognition of these differences has led to the development of a new classification scheme for pediatric diffuse lung disease. Knowledge of this classification and recognition of characteristic imaging findings of specific disorders will lead to accurate diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment of children with diffuse lung disease.
在儿童中获取无运动伪影的最佳肺容积下的肺实质计算机断层扫描图像比在成人中更具挑战性。成人中一些较常见的弥漫性肺病形式在儿童中很少发生，而几种弥漫性肺病形式是儿童特有的。认识到这些差异促使人们开发了一种新的儿童弥漫性肺病分类方案。了解这种分类以及认识特定疾病的特征性影像学表现将有助于准确诊断并指导儿童弥漫性肺病的适当治疗。
