Use of chest radiography screening for TB: a re-evaluation of . . . One could therefore argue that the effectiveness of CXR screening for detecting new smear-positive cases was not substantially inferior, and nor was it irrelevant for the observed decline In contrast, the conclusions surrounding the “impracticality” of CXR were fixed on its lack of detection of smear-positive cases
CHEST RADIOGRAPHY IN TUBERCULOSIS DETECTION This document summarizes WHO’s recommendations on using CXR for TB triaging, diagnosis and screening It also outlines a framework for the strategic planning and use of CXR within national TB programmes
3. 1. 2 CXR screening | TB Knowledge Sharing CXR is a good screening tool for pulmonary TB because of its high estimated accuracy for detecting TB disease, especially before the onset of symptoms From the perspective of the person being screened, CXR is valuable because it can also detect medical conditions other than TB, including other pulmonary and thoracic conditions
Chest X-Ray Screening for Tuberculosis: Methods and Impact By prioritizing these recommendations, practitioners can significantly bolster the effectiveness of chest X-ray screenings for tuberculosis, adapting to technological improvements, and maintaining a patient-centered approach in public health initiatives
Diagnostic Accuracy of Chest X-ray Computer-Aided Detection . . . Our findings suggest that the potential of CAD-CXR screening for TB is not maximized as a high proportion of those above current thresholds, but with a negative routine confirmatory sputum, have true TB disease that may benefit intervention
The effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of screening for . . . We developed the following key questions along this evidence chain: (i) what is the yield of active TB screening with CXR in migrants, (ii) what are the test performance characteristics of CXR to detect active TB, (iii) how effective is active TB therapy and what are the associated harms, (iv) what is the uptake of active TB screening by
What is the Diagnostic Performance of CXR in the Detection of . . . In this systematic review we evaluate the role of chest radiography (CXR) in the diagnostic flow chart for tuberculosis (TB) infection, focusing on latent TB infection (LTBI) in patients requiring medical treatment with biological drugs
