This article reviews the various nonimaging diagnostic tests available for the diagnosis of pneumonia including the methods by which specimens are obtained and the speed at which certain tests are available. Because tests results may be available at the time of radiologic image interpretation, it is important for the radiologist to be aware of the type of specimens and diagnostic tests to search for in the electronic medical record in order to provide a more refined imaging report. Diagnostic tests for the most common bacterial, fungal, viral, and parasitic infections are discussed.
