BACKGROUND: Systematic screening for TB using automated chest radiography (ACR)
with computer-aided detection software (CAD4TB) has been implemented at scale in …

The introduction of digital CXR with automated computer-aided interpretation, has given
impetus to the role of CXR in TB screening, particularly in low resource, high-burden …

BACKGROUND: DetecTB (Diagnostic Enhanced Tools for Extra Cases of TB), an intensified
tuberculosis (TB) case-finding programme targeting prisons and high-risk communities was …

OBJECTIVE: To compare two community screening tests for TB: sputum examination using
Xpert® MTB/RIF and chest radiography (CXR). METHOD: Men aged≥ 15 years and women …

Background Optimized tuberculosis (TB) screening in high burden settings is essential for
case finding. We evaluated digital chest X-ray with computer-aided detection (CAD) software …

Molecular tests hold great potential for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, but are costly, time
consuming and HIV-infected patients are often sputum scarce. Therefore, alternative …

SETTING: Tuberculosis (TB) screening programmes can be optimised by reducing the
number of chest radiographs (CXRs) requiring interpretation by human experts …

Rationale: Realizing the Global Plan to End Tuberculosis (TB) will require reaching at least
90% of people in key populations, such as inmates, through optimizing case-finding …

Abstract Background The Tuberculosis (TB) Control Program in India changed the TB
diagnostic algorithm and recommended sputum testing and chest x-ray (CXR) for …

Abstract Setting The introduction of Xpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) and renewed interest in chest x-
ray (CXR) for tuberculosis testing has provided additional choices to the smear-based …
