ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate high-resolution CT(HRCT) findings of the miliary tuberculosis and their significancy. MATERIAL ANDMETHOD:
We retrospectively studied clinical records, HRCT and chest radiographs of 14 patients with miliary tuberculosis.RESULTS:
On HRCT, nodules were seen in all 14 cases, 10 of them evenly, and 4 were irregularly distributed. The size of each nodule was less than 1 mm in 7 cases, 1 --2ram in 6 cases, and 3mm or more in 1 case. The ground - glass opacity was accompanied in 8 cases, and fine reticular opacity was also noted in 8 cases. Other associated findings were pleural effusion (n=4), hilar and mediastinal lymphadenopathy (n=3), consolidation of the exudative tuberculosis (n=4).CONCLUSION:
HRCT findings of miliary tuberculosis are diffusely distributed micronodules of variable size, less than 5mm in diameter. The ground-glass opacity can be combined.
