[High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the pediatric lung].
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the lung is a very valuable method in the evaluation of children with acute and chronic lung disease due to the high spatial resolution and precise display of anatomy and pathology without superposition.
