Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) remains the leading cause of death from a single infectious agent globally, despite being a potentially curable disease. This disease typically affects the lungs but may involve many extrapulmonary sites, especially in patients with risk factors such as HIV infection. The clinical features of extrapulmonary TB may mimic many different disease entities, particularly at less common thoracic sites such as the heart, chest wall, and breast. Imaging has an important role in the early diagnosis of TB, helping to detect disease, guide appropriate laboratory investigation, demonstrate complications, and monitor disease progress and response to treatment. Imaging supports the clinical objective of achieving effective treatment outcome and complication prevention. This review aims to highlight the imaging spectrum of TB affecting both pulmonary and extrapulmonary sites in the thorax. We also briefly provide key background information about TB, such as epidemiology, pathogenesis, and diagnosis.

胸部结核的成像:肺部和肺外。
尽管肺结核(TB)是一种可以治愈的疾病,但它仍然是全球因单一传染源致死的主要原因。这种疾病通常影响肺部,但也可能累及肺外多个部位,尤其是在有艾滋病病毒感染等危险因素的患者中。肺外结核的临床特征可能会模仿许多不同的疾病实体,尤其是在心脏、胸壁和乳房等不常见的胸部部位。影像学检查在结核病的早期诊断中起着重要作用,有助于发现疾病、指导适当的实验室检查、显示并发症、监测疾病进展和对治疗的反应。影像检查有助于实现有效治疗和预防并发症的临床目标。本综述旨在重点介绍影响胸部肺部和肺外部位的结核病影像学检查。我们还简要介绍了结核病的主要背景信息,如流行病学、发病机制和诊断。
