Overview

CT Scan has a minimal diagnostic value in diagnosing chicken pox unless complications arise such as in varicella pneumonia.

CT scan

• In Varicella pneumonia the CT shows well-defined and ill-defined nodules diffusely throughout both lungs nodules with a surrounding halo of ground-glass opacity, patchy ground-glass opacity, and coalescence of nodules.
