| Abstract
|
:
|
The book provides an overview of the imaging methods in non-pulmonary tuberculosis including recent technical developments. It is backed by a wide range of illustrations. Tuberculosis of the central nervous system, spine, bones and joints, alimentary and renal tracts are covered in detail, as well as tuberculosis in the paediatric age group and in AIDS patients. Both modern and traditional methods of imaging are presented with an emphasis on conventional radiography, CT and MRI scanning methods and the use of isotopes. The reasons for the recent worldwide epidemic of tuberculosis are discussed as well as methods of treatment.
