The utilization of X-ray imaging for pneumonia detection offers several advantages over other modalities such as computed tomography scans or magnetic resonance imaging. X-rays provide a cost-effective and easily accessible method for screening and diagnosing pneumonia, allowing for quicker assessment and timely intervention.
