The use of CT in the pediatric age group has been steadily increasing since the introduction of the newer generations of scanners with improved resolution and faster scan times. Though the clinical impact of CT of the chest has been less dramatic than that of the head and abdomen, the role of CT is rapidly evolving. CT of the chest has proven to be of great value in the evaluation of the mediastinum and in the detection of metastatic disease. The role of CT of the chest is expanding and further applications are to be expected.
自新一代具有更高分辨率和更快扫描时间的扫描仪问世以来，CT在儿科年龄组中的使用一直在稳步增加。尽管胸部CT的临床影响不如头部和腹部CT显著，但其作用正在迅速演变。胸部CT已被证明在纵隔评估和转移性疾病检测中具有重要价值。胸部CT的作用正在扩大，预计会有更多应用。
