 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 On the imaging diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis [Abstract] has been applied more than a century of conventional X-ray examination, was recognized as early detection and early diagnosis of tuberculosis, an indispensable, easy way, the 20th century, after 80 years of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound tomography (US), radioisotope scan (RI) four imaging diagnostic techniques, it is the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of tuberculosis, the most accurate and reliable means. the lack of specificity of imaging findings, although there of tuberculosis very accurate diagnosis and localization diagnosis of the discovery of the role, but the diagnosis of very limited diagnostic imaging alone tuberculosis error can be as high as 20% to 30%. [Keywords: imaging diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis A tuberculosis lesion imaging characteristics Chest imaging studies, generally show the following characteristics of tuberculosis lesions, lesions characteristic of tuberculosis diagnosis and differential diagnosis of an important basis for: 1. The lesion site occurred in the lung and upper back, the tip of the upper lobe or posterior segment after segment, followed by the lower end of the dorsal segment and lower segment Yehou Ji. 2. Lesions confined to a range of more pulmonary segments or more lung segments. 3. Multiforme lesions there are several properties of the lung lesions at the same time, such as exudation, proliferation, cheese, fibrosis, calcification. 4. Voids formed the majority of cases of various nature and more empty, without the wall cavity, wall cavity, tension empty, empty cheese thick, thick-walled hollow fiber, etc., each with tuberculous cavity imaging features. 5. Bronchus disseminated in remote or contralateral lung lesions can occur bronchial (pipeline) spread is a major feature of tuberculosis. 6. Pleural diseases, especially multiple imaging
