Overview
Imaging with chest x-rays remains as the gold standard of diagnosis when supported with other laboratory findings. Although x-rays provide reliable findings, it is recommended that the entire clinical picture along with supporting laboratory findings be taken into consideration before treatment is started. Patterns commonly found on imaging include lobar or focal nonsegmental pneumonia, lobular or multifocal bronchopneumonia, and diffuse or interstitial (atypical) pneumonia. Radiological findings may take 6-12 weeks to clear.
