Digital Chest X-Ray with Computer-aided Detection for Tuberculosis Screening within Correctional Facilities.

Realizing the Global Plan to End Tuberculosis (TB) will require reaching at least 90% of people in key populations, such as inmates, through optimizing case-finding approaches. To evaluate the value of adding digital chest X-ray (d-CXR) with computer-aided detection (CAD) to symptom-based screening on TB yield among inmates. Consecutive adult inmates from four correctional facilities in South Africa were screened for TB using symptoms and d-CXR.
