  2. Radiological Imaging of Pulmonary T.B. By Dr. Dorria Salem Prof. of Radiology Cairo University

  3. Why is T.B. still considered a major issue? T.B remains the major cause of death from a single infectious agent among adults in developing nations. In 1993, the WHO declared T.B to be a global emergency. It is estimated that between 1997-2020, nearly 1 billion people will become newly infected and 70 x 106 will die from the disease(WHO, 1998)

  4. Pulmonary T.B Primary Post primary (reactivation) There is considerable overlap in radiologic manifestations of these 2 entities. Results of radiography may be normal in 15% of cases

  5. Pulmonary T.B Radiology of Primary T.B. Lymphadenopathy Parenchymal disease Pleural effusion Miliary T.B

  46. Can X-ray D.D. active / inactive T.B? NO 1-D.D can be reliably made on basis of temporal evolution i.e. lack of radiographic change over 4-6 months. Thus radiology can say that the dse. is stable rather than inactive . 2-Fibrosis +calcification are found in both healed + active disease

  47. Can X-ray D.D. active + inactive T.B? NO  Sputum culture–positive TB Fibrosis +calcification are found in bothhealed + active dse Fibrosis retroclavicular calcifications calcified nodules Fibrosis Close-up radiographic view CT scan with 1-mm collimation

  48. Can X-ray play role in assessing treatment response? Yes confluent consolidation nodules  Postprimary TB Pre-Treatment 3 months Post- treatment Regression of radiographic abnormalities in pulmonary TB is a slow process

  49. Can X-ray play role in assessing treatment response? Yes 1st 3 months of treatment Worsening of X-Ray findings : - Progress of parenchymal involvement -development or enlargement of LN cause Unknown , may be due to: development of hypersensitivity reaction 2-10 weeks after initial infection

  50. Can X-ray play role in assessing treatment response? Yes 1st 3 months of treatment worsening of the radiographic findings i.e. extension of parenchymal involvement +development or enlargement of LN 6m-2 years of treatment resolution of parenchymal abnormalities on X-ray this is seen earlier on CT (15 months) Failure of improvement of radiographic findings after 3 months of treatment drug resistant organism superimposed infection
