| Abstract |
|
Tuberculosis(TB) is one of the most important infectious diseases, causing high mortality and morbidity worldwide. The
traditional imaging concept of primary and reactivation TB recently has been challenged on the basis of DNA finger printing; the
radiological findings are closely related with the patient's immune status rather than the elapsed time after the infection. In this
regard, we need to use new radiological classification instead of using the inappropriate previous terminologies (primary and
reactivation TB). In this paper, we will classify the imaging findings of chest TB as follows; parenchymal TB (air-space
consolidation, focal nodular lesion and linear density, cavity, tuberculoma, fibrosis-scar-destruction), tracheobronchial TB, miliary
TB, lymph node TB, pleural TB, and pericardial TB. |
