MODERN ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF DIAGNOSTIC RADIOLOGY IN PNEUMONIA

Abstract

We consider modern development of diagnostic radiology in pneumonia, and establish available types of diagnostic radiology for this disease. The work will focus on radio diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia. Several studies have been carried out on the problem of diagnosing community-acquired pneumonia, and new data are constantly emerging on various aspects of this issue. Regular updating of knowledge on this subject is necessary. Specialists use diagnostic radiology methods to detect pneumonia very often, including those caused by the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. These methods are also used to assess the complications of the disease, differential diagnosis with other lung diseases, as well as to determine the severity and dynamics of changes, to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. Radiation methods are also needed to detect and evaluate the nature of pathological changes in other anatomical areas and as a means of control for invasive medical interventions. This research is also aimed at highlighting the most important criteria for radio diagnosis of pathological changes in the lungs in patients with pneumonia (including those caused by a new coronavirus infection) according to national and foreign authors.
