Approximately 25 percent of the world population is infected with tuberculosis (TB), a disease that has resurged due to HIV, drug resistance, and socioeconomic factors. Imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis and management of TB. This featured course will cover manifestations of the disease throughout the body, combining expertise from SMRI and ARRS faculty.
