Overview
There is no specific CT scan finding associated with Brucellosis.
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 .
