ABSTRACT
Tuberculosis is still a major public health problem, although it is decreasing worldwide. The World Health Organization is working to reduce the incidence and deaths of tuberculosis globally and aims to eradicate tuberculosis.Current Concepts: The world’s gradual eradication of tuberculosis would be virtually inconceivable without the outstanding scientific works of Robert Koch and Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen. In 1882, Koch’s discovery of the tuberculosis bacillus was the most important first step towards controlling and ending this deadly disease. In 1895, Röntgen’s discovery of the X-ray revolutionized humanity as it became the first technology used to create images of the human body. X-ray images became an essential tool in modern medicine within a short period.Discussion and Conclusion: Chest radiology plays a crucial role in tuberculosis screening, diagnosis, and management. Chest radiology has contributed to the control of tuberculosis, which has plagued humanity for a long time, and will continue to contribute to eradicating tuberculosis in the world.
