Purpose: To assess frequency, location, and appearance of peripheral osteoarticular and soft-tissue tuberculosis (TB).
Material And Methods: Twenty-five of 503 patients with TB had peripheral osteoarticular TB and 5 had soft-tissue TB. Chest radiography, CT, and MR imaging were applied.
Purpose: To describe the radiologic findings in patients with spinal tuberculosis (TB).
Material And Methods: Out of a total of 503 patients with TB, 63 (13%) had involvement of the spine.
Results: In 40 patients, the spine was the only location; 20 patients had concomitant chest TB.
Purpose: To show that intracranial tuberculosis (TB) often masquerades as brain tumour.
Material And Methods: Forty-six patients with intracranial TB, who after CT at the local hospital were referred for surgery or radiotherapy of brain tumour, are presented. Sometimes the correct diagnosis was first established during surgery for brain tumour.
Purpose: To describe the radiological findings of tuberculosis (TB) of the abdomen as reflected at our hospital.
Material And Methods: The radiological files of 503 patients (referred to our institution mainly because of a clinical suspicion of malignancy, and found to have culture- or biopsy-proven TB) were reviewed in order to analyze the spectrum of the TB manifestations in this group of patients.
Results: Abdominal manifestations were found in 112 patients, in 1/3 abdominal disease was the only evidence of TB.
Purpose: To give an overview of 503 patients with tuberculosis (TB) and to describe the radiologic findings of chest TB.
Material And Methods: A total of 503 patients with proven TB were reviewed; 266 had chest involvement.
Results: Lung lesions were demonstrated in 214 patients.
