MRI evaluation of pulmonary lesions and lung tissue changes induced by tuberculosis

International Journal of Infectious Diseases Mar 15, 2019

Zeng J, et al. - They performed lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on 63 subjects with computer tomography (CT) features of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) to assess the usefulness of MRI with an advanced motion correction technique in describing lung tissue changes and lesions triggered by pulmonary TB. As per outcomes, with MultiVane implemented T2 weighted turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence to lower the motion correction effect, MRI shows remarkable agreement with CT in distinguishing abnormal imaging features of pulmonary TB, like tree-in-bud sign, ground glass opacity, consolidation, mass, and cavitation. Especially for pregnant women, children, adolescents, and patients requiring short-term and repeated follow-up observations, lung MRI without ionized radiation is suggested to be a promising alternative to the clinical standard CT.
