Objective To explore the effectiveness of X-ray and CT examination in children with mycoplasma pneumonia. Methods 60 children with pneumonia were selected from the electronic medical record system of the outpatient imaging department of our hospital. The selected time was from March 2021 to may 2022. After the parents and children agreed to participate in the study, they were divided into the study group (CT diagnosis) and the control group (chest X-ray diagnosis) by statistical random method. There were 30 children in each group. The diagnostic accuracy and specific imaging findings were compared between the groups. Results the accuracy of examination methods in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05); In the study group, the detection rate of pleural effusion was high, and the detection rate of lung texture thickening was low. The comparison showed that P<0.05. Conclusion for children with mycoplasma pneumonia, the accuracy of CT diagnosis is higher, but there is little difference in the detection rate of specific lung lesions. Therefore, the early detection results should be given by combining the above two detection methods.
