Tuberculosis Imaging

Tuberculosis (TB) imaging involves using X-rays or CT scans to detect signs of TB infection in the lungs and other body parts. A chest X-ray can reveal abnormalities, such as cavities or patches in the lungs that suggest TB. These imaging tests help doctors assess the extent of the disease, monitor treatment progress, and identify complications. While imaging is essential, it’s usually combined with other tests, such as sputum samples, for a comprehensive diagnosis. Early detection through imaging is crucial for effective treatment and preventing the spread of TB.
