According to Notohamiprodjo and colleagues,chest x-ray is probably still a valuable screening method for tuberculosis , and justify the use of low-dose CT in case of doubt, especially for patients with negative findings of pleural scars but with positive medical history, positive interferon-gamma release assays, or other postspecific changes.
Low-dose CT could evolve into a screening method in the future thanks to dose reduction technologies such as automated tube current modulation and model-based iterative reconstruction.
