| Core Tip |
The current understanding of pulmonary nocardiosis as presenting with heterogeneous computed tomography (CT) findings is changing, as in their recent work, Wang et al recently suggested a potential role for radiology in species-level diagnosis. By integrating high-resolution CT and molecular-based diagnostics, the authors provide evidence for a two-step diagnostic workflow for species identification in pulmonary nocardiosis, using imaging to rapidly build species-level suspicion followed by confirmation with metagenomic next-generation sequencing. |
