Synopsis

Keywords: Lung, Pediatric, pediatric pneumonia As a promising MRI technique, ultrashort echo‑time (UTE) sequence has been widely used in the evaluation of pulmonary diseases, allowing for increased contrast-to-noise ratio and the comparable image quality with CT. Literature on the use of the UTE in pneumonia is broadly available in older children and adults, whereas the data in younger children group is limited. This study illustrated the ability of UTE lung imaging for assessing pneumonia patients under 3 years old and has good diagnostic utility in detecting the typical morphological findings of pediatric pneumonia.
