Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Despite advances in diagnostic technologies for tuberculosis (TB), global control of this disease requires improved technologies for active case finding in selected vulnerable populations. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into imaging modalities has been anticipated to assume a pivotal position in conjunction with traditional bacteriological diagnostic approaches, especially in the active diagnosis of vulnerable groups.
