High diagnostic accuracy of HRCT chest for active pulmonary tuberculosis was found at 69.75%, indicating its effectiveness.
Sensitivity of HRCT was notable at 95.8%, while specificity was lower at 54.63%, showing strengths and weaknesses in detection.
A retrospective study analyzed 486 cases from January 2020 to December 2024, correlating HRCT findings with established tests.
These results suggest HRCT chest can be a reliable diagnostic tool for pulmonary tuberculosis, but usage should be judicious.
