Pneumonia is the most common infectious cause of mortality in children worldwide. Chest x-ray (CXR) has been used as a supplementary mode in the diagnosis of pneumonia in children, but its frequent use might expose children to unnecessary ionizing radiation. In this review, we present up-to-date data of an alternative mode of imaging other than CXR in the diagnosis of pneumonia in children. We found that lung ultrasound is a safe and accurate mode of imaging that can be used by a health care provider in the cases of suspected pneumonia. It is more sensitive than CXR in the diagnosis of pneumonia and obviates the need for irradiation.
肺炎是全球儿童最常见的感染性死亡原因。胸部X光（CXR）一直被用作儿童肺炎诊断的辅助手段，但频繁使用可能会使儿童暴露于不必要的电离辐射中。在本综述中，我们展示了除CXR之外用于儿童肺炎诊断的另一种成像方式的最新数据。我们发现，肺部超声是一种安全且准确的成像方式，在疑似肺炎病例中，医护人员可以使用。它在肺炎诊断中比CXR更敏感，且无需进行辐射。
