CT-based radiomics nomogram for distinguishing Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia from other pneumonias in children with community-acquired pneumonia

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a common cause of pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Its computed tomography (CT) manifestations often overlap with those of other pneumonias, making their differentiation challenging. This study aimed to develop and test a radiomics nomogram to distinguish MPP from other pneumonias in children with CAP.
