Tuberculosis of elbow and wrist joints - usefulness of high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in morphological
Abstract:
Tuberculosis is an infection disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis or Mycobacterium atipics. The disease involves first of all the lungs (about 95% of patients). The changes were recognized in locomotive system in about 20% of cases of the other location and they occurred mainly in the vertebral column, hip - joint and knee - joint [1]. The authors describe two cases of tuberculosis of elbow joint and wrist the use with the High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) exams in the algorythm of diagnostic procedure.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
