ABSTRACT

Pneumonia is a major disease threatening the health of children, and its diagnosis mainly depends on medical history, physical examination, chest X-ray and CT examination. The reliability of the physical examination was low, while the chest X-ray and CT examination had certain radiation damage to children.
