- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the cost-effectiveness of radiographic and tomographic imaging methods in the detection of community-acquired pneumonia. Method: This was an integrative literature review, which consisted of a broader methodological approach, as it admits the inclusion of experimental and non-experimental studies in order to achieve a complete understanding of the study analyzed. Results: Cost-effectiveness analysis is a method that compares two or more methodologies and evaluates costs versus non-monetary units of outcomes such as years of life gained, number of lives saved, cases prevented, and other measurements to justify the goal obtained with an expenditure. Conclusions: In light of the many questions raised in this research, it is clear that when comparing the two imaging techniques, the X-Ray system is as effective as Computed Tomography.
