lüll Pulmonary tuberculosis: contributions of radiology in diagnosis and treatment Ochsner SFSouth Med J 1986[Nov]; 79 (11): 1416-24This review records the important place that radiologic examinations have had in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in the past nine decades. Very soon after the discovery of x-rays it became apparent that chest roentgenograms would be a help in identifying pulmonary lesions. As the quality of the examinations improved, the benefits became significantly better. Earlier lesions were diagnosed. Follow-up studies after medical or surgical treatment were increasingly helpful. Newly developed techniques allowed demonstration of extrapulmonary complications. Radiologic monitoring of collapse therapy played a critical role in the successes achieved. Even after the medical conquest of active tuberculous lesions by drug therapy, identification of new lesions and follow-up of treated patients remains a significant role for radiology. Control of this once fatal and widely feared disease depends on continued early recognition and appropriate treatment.|Collapse Therapy/history[MESH]|History, 19th Century[MESH]|History, 20th Century[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Lung/diagnostic imaging[MESH]|Radiography/*history[MESH]|Tuberculosis, Pulmonary/diagnostic imaging/*history/therapy[MESH] |
