๐ World Tuberculosis Day - March 24th
Today, we raise awareness about Tuberculosis (TB), a serious global health issue that still affects millions. TB is a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects the lungs, though it can spread to other parts of the body. It is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and spreads through the air when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are critical, and radiology plays a key role in detecting TB early, preventing further spread and complications.
๐ฉป The Role of Radiology in TB Detection:
Chest X-rays and CT scans are essential tools in diagnosing TB. They help identify lung abnormalities such as lesions or cavities caused by the bacteria. Early imaging can lead to faster diagnosis and prompt treatment, greatly improving patient outcomes and reducing transmission risk.
