Overview
Although CT scans are not a primary modality of testing for bacterial pneumonia, It may be utilized in either complex cases where the underlying cause is unknown[1] and or when empiric antibiotic use yields no symptomatic relief in the patient. CT scans may be very informative and assist in differentiating infectious and noninfectious pneumonia.[2]
