The paper provides a detailed analysis of 120 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis that was mainly detected by X-ray computed tomography (XCT). The study was performed on third-generation XCT plants. The authors highly appreciate the contribution of XCT to the diagnosis of tuberculosis with emphasis on some organizational issues. They suggest that third-forth-generation XCT plants that show its high effectiveness in detecting major lung diseases, including tuberculosis, and cost-efficiency should be widely introduced into the outpatient setting.
