High-yield Imaging Review of Pulmonary Infections

Publication date: Available online 13 October 2019Source: Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRIAuthor(s): Angelica Patino Gonzalez, Lucy Modahl, Daniel KowalAbstractImaging plays a central role in the diagnosis of pulmonary infections with the chest radiograph as the initial study of choice. CT can further delineate the extent of disease and present key imaging signs that, along with clinical history and laboratory data, can properly guide the differential diagnosis. In this article, we review and illustrate the most relevant CT imaging manifestations of common and less common pulmonary infections, including a section devoted to pulmonary infections in immunosuppressed patients.
