Objective To explore the imaging diagnosis and characteristics of clinical pulmonary fungal infection, hoping to provide rich theoretical basis for the later diagnosis of the disease. Methods A total of 80 patients with suspected pulmonary fungal infection who received treatment in Zhenping County First Peoples Hospital from July 2021 to August 2022 were randomly selected as the research objects. All the admitted patients were examined by CT and X-ray. The diagnostic specificity, sensitivity, coincidence rate and CT imaging findings of CT and X-ray in the course of clinical examination of pulmonary fungal infection were compared using the results of etiology as the gold standard. Results According to the etiological examination, 75 of the 80 patients were positive for pulmonary fungal infection, accounting for 93.75%. Moreover, according to the examination results, compared with X-ray examination, the sensitivity and coincidence rate of CT examination for pulmonary fungal infection were significantly higher, the difference was significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in specificity between the two methods (P>0.05). In the process of CT imaging assisted diagnosis of pulmonary fungal infection, the main manifestations include mass shadow, pulmonary nodules, cavities, etc. Conclusion CT diagnosis has higher sensitivity and diagnosis coincidence rate in the process of clinical diagnosis of pulmonary fungal infection. The most common imaging manifestations in the diagnosis of pulmonary fungal infection include mass shadow, pulmonary nodule, cavity, etc.
