[Value of imaging in sarcoidosis].
Imaging plays an important role in identifying thoracic, abdominal and neurological localizations of sarcoidosis as well as ENT and bone localizations. It contributes to disease detection and is helpful for diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic decision making and useful for therapeutic monitoring. The chest x-ray is particularly important in the initial work-up and to follow well-tolerated disease. Other investigations, depending on the localization, are helpful to follow the course of severe or chronic sarcoidosis.
