Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of conventional chest radiographs compared to advanced coronal CT MinIP scans in detecting airway compression in children with lymphobronchial tuberculosis (TB).
- It highlights that in resource-limited settings, relying on traditional radiography might misclassify patients, affecting their treatment protocols per World Health Organization guidelines.
- The research evaluated 37 patients, comparing sensitivity and specificity of the two imaging methods, revealing how well they agree on the severity of airway stenosis.
