Abstract

A variety of focal processes and diffuse abnormalities are found predominantly in children. In addition, thoracic manifestations of trauma differ in children because of increased chest wall compliance. Familiarity with both these abnormalities as well as the common normal variations provides optimal imaging evaluation.
