Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) offers an important noninvasive imaging modality for confirmation and further characterization of primary lung and large airway neoplasms encountered in pediatric patients. Children represent a unique challenge in imaging, not only because of unique patient factors (eg, inability to follow instructions, motion, need for sedation) but because of the technical factors that must be optimized to reduce radiation dose. This article reviews an MDCT imaging algorithm, up-to-date imaging techniques, and clinical applications of MDCT for evaluating benign and malignant primary neoplasms of lung and large airway in infants and children.
多排螺旋计算机断层扫描（MDCT）为确诊和进一步鉴别儿科患者的原发性肺部及大气道肿瘤提供了一种重要的无创成像方式。儿童在成像方面面临独特挑战，不仅因为存在独特的患者因素（如无法听从指令、运动、需要镇静），还因为必须优化技术因素以降低辐射剂量。本文综述了用于评估婴幼儿和儿童肺部及大气道良恶性原发性肿瘤的MDCT成像算法、最新成像技术以及MDCT的临床应用。
