Imaging studies can provide essential information when infection is suspected. Chest radiography remains the best radiographic screening tool for intrathoracic infections. Computed tomographic (CT) scanning is preferred for evaluation of solid-organ abscesses, peritoneal abscesses, and associated malignant tumors or adenopathy. Ultrasonography is used primarily in evaluation of the gallbladder, biliary system and, increasingly, the appendix. Magnetic resonance imaging is highly sensitive in detecting osteomyelitis.
当怀疑有感染时，影像学检查可提供重要信息。胸部X线摄影仍是胸腔内感染最佳的X线筛查工具。计算机断层扫描（CT）用于评估实体器官脓肿、腹腔脓肿以及相关的恶性肿瘤或淋巴结病。超声检查主要用于评估胆囊、胆道系统，并且越来越多地用于评估阑尾。磁共振成像在检测骨髓炎方面高度敏感。
