ADVANTAGES OF MRI IN PNEUMONIA DIAGNOSIS

Аннотация

Pneumonia is a common respiratory condition characterized by inflammation of the lung parenchyma, often caused by infections from bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Accurate diagnosis is critical for effective management and treatment. Traditionally, chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) have been the primary imaging tools used in pneumonia diagnosis. However, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is emerging as a valuable alternative due to its unique advantages in providing detailed soft tissue imaging without ionizing radiation.
