Overview
The majority of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis will have CT abnormal findings, such as micronodules, interlobular septal thickening, cavitation and consolidation.
Computed Tomography
Pulmonary Tuberculosis
- Chest CT abnormalities are seen in the majority of patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis.
- CT finding include:[1]
- Micronodules
- Interlobular septal thickening
- Cavitation
- Consolidation.
- Micronodules are most commonly located in the subpleural region and peribronchovascular interstitium.
Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis
Disseminated Tuberculosis
Abdominal Tuberculosis
- CT findings in the a pancreatic and spleen infection with tuberculosis may mimic a pancreatic cancer.[2]
- Shown below there is CT scan of the pancreas demonstrating a mass in the pancreatic tail and metastasizes in the spleen.
