Purpose: This study was aimed at assessing the effectiveness of lung graphics in the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia in children. Instruments and Methods: Between 2020 and 2021, the radiological findings of child patients diagnosed with COVID-19 with the polymerase chain reaction test were evaluated as retrospective. The study included 140 patients with both lung graphics and thorax tomographs. In the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia, the effectiveness of the lung graph was determined. In the lungs graph, in cases where the discovery of pneumonia was not identified, computational tomographs of the torace were compared. Results: COVID-19 pneumonia was identified in the 100 of 140 toraks computer tomographs. In the lung chart of 48 of these 100 patients, a rise in obesity was observed (48%). The radiography of the other 52 patients was normal. The reasons for this were low dancitis (n=26 patients, 50%), small dancitis (n=16 patients, 30.7%), diaphragm and liver-related dancitis (n=10 patients, 19.2%). In computer tomographs, 36 patients (36 percent) observed consolidation, 64 patients (64 percent) observed pure ice glass appearances. 26 of the 36 patients with consolidation were seen in the lungs chart (72.2%) with an increase in obesity. In 22 of 64 patients with ice glass appearance (34.3%), a rise in obesity was observed in the lungs graph. The consolidation detection rate of the lung graph was found significantly high compared to the glacier (p<0.01). The result: Low dancitis and small obsesions reduce the effectiveness of lung graphics. Though breast X-ray imaging was useful in detection of consolidations in pediatric patients, it was not enough in detection of ice glass appearances.
