ABSTRACT
Imaging is crucial in the diagnostic work-up and follow-up after treatment in children with thoracic tuberculosis (TB). Despite various technological advances in imaging modalities, chest radiography is the primary imaging modality for initial care and in emergency settings, especially in rural areas and where resources are limited. Ultrasonography (US) of the thorax in TB is one of the emerging applications of US as a radiation-free modality in children. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the ideal radiation-free, emerging imaging modality for thoracic TB in children. However, only limited published data is available regarding the utility of MRI in thoracic TB. In this pictorial review, we demonstrate the use of US and rapid lung MRI in evaluating children with thoracic TB, specifically for mediastinal lymphadenopathy and pulmonary complications of TB.
