ABSTRACT
The incidence and prevalence of nontuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD) is increasing worldwide, including in Korea, and the clinical importance of NTM-PD is also rapidly increasing. The diagnosis and management of NTM-PD is difficult. Radiologic evidence is mandatory to diagnose NTM-PD, and the radiologic findings may be the first evidence of the disease in many patients. Traditionally, NTM-PD demonstrates two different radiologic formsfibrocavitary and nodular bronchiectatic. However, the disease also shows non-specific and a wide spectrum of radiologic features. Radiologists must be aware of the radiologic features of NTM-PD and should include them in the differential diagnosis. This review focuses on the epidemiology in Korea, diagnostic criteria, and radiological features of NTM-PD for radiologists.
