Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is highly prevalent worldwide, and it affects children and adults equally, causing significant morbidity and mortality. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and management. Knowledge of imaging modalities available, imaging manifestations of both pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis, is vital for the radiologist for timely diagnosis among children with TB.
