Tuberculosis (TB) is rising globally, often affecting extrapulmonary sites like the spine, especially in immunocompromised individuals. Advanced imaging aids in early diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal TB.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedics

Background:

  • Global increase in tuberculosis (TB) incidence, particularly in developing nations, Europe, and North America.
  • Well-established link between TB and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, often leading to extrapulmonary manifestations.
  • Skeletal tuberculosis (TB), especially spinal TB, is a significant concern, with atypical presentations noted in immigrant populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the characteristic imaging features of musculoskeletal tuberculosis (TB).
  • To elucidate the crucial role of various imaging modalities in the diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal TB.
  • To highlight the increasing value of cross-sectional imaging techniques in early and accurate TB detection.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Review of plain radiography findings in musculoskeletal TB.
  • Evaluation of cross-sectional imaging modalities including computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Analysis of imaging features specific to musculoskeletal TB, including atypical presentations.

    • Main Results:

    • Plain radiography remains a primary diagnostic tool for musculoskeletal TB.
    • Cross-sectional imaging (CT, US, MRI) offers significant advantages for early and accurate diagnosis.
    • Imaging findings can vary, particularly in immigrant populations, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Musculoskeletal TB requires a thorough understanding of its diverse imaging manifestations.
    • Advanced imaging techniques are indispensable for timely diagnosis and effective management of TB affecting bones and joints.
    • Radiologists and clinicians must be aware of the spectrum of musculoskeletal TB on imaging to ensure optimal patient care.
