Pediatric Chest CT Scan Interpretation

A Pediatric Chest CT Scan is a detailed imaging test that uses X-rays to create cross-sectional pictures of a child's chest, including the lungs, heart, and surrounding structures. Doctors interpret these images to identify any abnormalities, such as infections, tumors, or structural issues. They look for signs of conditions like pneumonia, asthma, or congenital defects. The scan provides critical information for diagnosing and planning treatment, helping ensure that any health issues are addressed effectively and promptly, thus supporting the child's overall health and development.
