A study was undertaken on the chest X-rays of 414 children suspected clinically of having pneumonia, to ascertain whether the lateral film provided additional diagnostic information. In only nine cases the lateral film confirmed the diagnostic value of the frontal film and it is suggested that a routine lateral chest film should not be taken for children suspected of having pneumonia.
对414名临床怀疑患有肺炎的儿童的胸部X光片进行了一项研究，以确定侧位片是否能提供额外的诊断信息。仅在9例病例中，侧位片证实了正位片的诊断价值，因此建议对于疑似患有肺炎的儿童不应常规拍摄胸部侧位片。
