Pneumonia is an infection of the lung parenchyma caused by a wide variety of organisms in pediatric patients. The role of imaging is to detect the presence of pneumonia, and determine its location and extent, exclude other thoracic causes of respiratory symptoms, and show complications such as effusion/empyema and suppurative lung changes. The overarching goal of this article is to review cause, role of imaging, imaging techniques, and the spectrum of acute and chronic pneumonias in children. Pneumonia in the neonate and immunocompromised host is also discussed.
肺炎是儿科患者肺部实质受多种病原体感染所致。影像学检查的作用是检测肺炎的存在，确定其位置和范围，排除引起呼吸道症状的其他胸部病因，并显示诸如胸腔积液/脓胸和化脓性肺部改变等并发症。本文的总体目标是综述儿童急性和慢性肺炎的病因、影像学检查的作用、成像技术以及肺炎的范围。还将讨论新生儿和免疫功能低下宿主的肺炎。
