Hydatid disease is a zoonosis that can involve almost any organ in the human body. After the liver, the lungs are the most common site for hydatid disease in adults. Imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of the disease, as clinical features are often nonspecific. Classical radiological signs of pulmonary hydatid cysts have been described in the literature, aiding in the diagnosis of the disease. However, complicated hydatid cysts can prove to be a diagnostic challenge at times due to their atypical imaging features. Radiography is the initial imaging modality. Computed tomography can provide a specific diagnosis in complicated cases. Ultrasound is particularly useful in peripheral lung lesions. The role of magnetic resonance imaging largely remains unexplored.
包虫病是一种人畜共患病，可累及人体几乎任何器官。在肝脏之后，肺部是成人包虫病最常见的发病部位。由于临床特征往往不具有特异性，影像学在该疾病的诊断中起着关键作用。文献中已描述了肺包虫囊肿的典型放射学征象，有助于该疾病的诊断。然而，复杂的包虫囊肿有时因其不典型的影像学特征而成为诊断难题。X线摄影是初始的影像学检查方法。计算机断层扫描可在复杂病例中提供明确诊断。超声在周围型肺部病变中特别有用。磁共振成像的作用在很大程度上仍未得到充分探索。
