Abstract

High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has improved our understanding of many lung diseases in adults. The technique is used less often in children due to concerns regarding radiation dose.

This review illustrates the HRCT appearances of a variety of conditions and describes the emerging role of the technique in children.
