AB  - Since 2000 there has been sufficient evidence that chest X-rays are unnecessary 
      in infants and children with uncomplicated lower respiratory tract infection. The 
      reason is that neither the diagnosis nor the first therapeutic decisions will be 
      influenced by the result of this procedure, and especially so if children have 
      been infected with the respiratory syncytial virus. However, epidemiological 
      studies in Germany reveal an ongoing use of chest X-ray in these cases. This 
      might suggest that the X-ray images are taken as "proof" of pneumonia, which 
      indeed pays off in the German DRG (Diagnosis Related Groups) system since 
      hospitals receive a higher reimbursement for RSV pneumonia than for RSV 
      bronchiolitis.
