Brucellosis CT Scan

There is no specific CT Scan finding associated with brucellosis, but localized snowfield calcification in chronic hepatosplenic brucellosis, can be used to distinguish brucellosis from other diseases.[1] CT scan can also help in diagnosing the focal organ infection or involvement.
