Abstract :

Most of the times in a country like India where we have plenty of pulmonary TB patients most of the patients are diagnosed on chest X ray ,only few of the patients where there is doubt in diagnosing it are further evaluated under CT imaging . CT happens to be a highly sensitive technique, better than conventional x– ray films, for active and inactive TB cases detection. The purpose of this communication is to show the most frequent CT findings in patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis who were diagnosed with bacteriological methods
