Tuberculosis remains one of the most dangerous and socially significant diseases in the world. Diagnostic imaging of pulmonary tuberculosis is being improved every year, new algorithms, technologies and methods are being introduced, what create a positive effect on the detection of tuberculosis. However, the diagnosis of tuberculosis remains a challenge. Digital fluorography remains the primary screening method, and computed tomography (CT) is used for more detailed analysis. This should be noted that there is a positive trend towards the application of low-dose computed tomography (LDCT), which is invaluable for screening studies. The leading place among radiopaque studies is CT with bolus enhancement, which helps to differentiate tuberculosis with other lung diseases. Such diagnostic methods as single-photon emission computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and diffusion-weighted MRI are used individually as an additional source of information.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
