The existing clinical diagnostic methods of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) usually have some of the following limitations, such as time-consuming, invasive, radioactive, insufficiently sensitive and accurate. This study demonstrates the possibility of u...
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) poses a global health challenge owing to the time-intensive nature of traditional diagnostic tests such as smear and culture tests, which can require hours to weeks to yield results.
OBJECTIVE: To conduct a systematic review of the computer vision applications that detect, diagnose, or analyse tuberculosis (TB) pathology or bacilli using digitised human lung tissue images either through automatic or semi-automatic methods. We cat...
Despite advancements in detection and treatment, tuberculosis (TB), an infectious illness caused by the Mycobacterium TB bacteria, continues to pose a serious threat to world health. The TB diagnosis phase includes a patient's medical history, physic...
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of a machine learning based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics to distinguish nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) from pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB).
