244 Chapter 10 Abstract Patients clinically suspected of community-acquired pneumonia were randomized between ultra-low-dose chest computed tomography (ULDCT, 261 patients) and chest radiograph (CXR, 231 patients). We did not find evidence that performing ULDCT instead of CXR affects antibiotic treatment policy or patient outcomes. However, in a subgroup of afebrile patients there were more patients diagnosed with CAP in the ULDCT group (ULDCT, 106 of 608 patients; CXR, 71 of 654 patients; P = 0.001).
