Abstract:
China has the third largest tuberculosis burden in the world, with a heavy anti-tuberculosis task. In recent years, ultrasound imaging technology has been widely used in the diagnosis of pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Because of its simplicity, convenience, and diagnostic function for multiple organs, ultrasound has gradually become an effective auxiliary diagnostic method for tuberculosis. In this paper, we reviewed the application status, problems and prospects of ultrasonic techniques in tuberculosis, hoping to provide new methods for the diagnosis of tuberculosis.
