Abstract:
Objective To explore the value of low-dose CT in assessment of neonatal pneumothorax.Methods Low-dose CT and chest radiographys were performed in 98 neonates with clinically suspected of pneumothorax.Results Pneumothorax was detected in 98 neonates by low-doseCT, compared with 84 neonates by chest radiography.The sensitivity of low-dose CT was higher than that of chest radiography (P =0.026<0.05). Conclusion Low-dose CT provides a reliable assessment of neonatal pneumothorax and a guide for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
