Optimizing the Use of Radiological Methods of Diagnosis at Examining Children and Adolescents for Tb
Abstract
The authors proved high informative content of the computed tomography (CT), on the basis of the study of diagnostic informative content of radiographic research methods used in the survey of children and adolescents on primary pulmonary tuberculosis. CT diagnostic significance indicators exceed informative content of traditional radiographic techniques (radiography and linear tomography) in 2-2.5 times. A comparative assessment of radiation doses received during conventional radiological methods and CT is given. The authors revealed the dependence of the received radiation dose from the age, the highest radiation burden falls on young children and adolescents. In the result of the research, a high radiation dose at linear tomography at low diagnostic informative content was defined, thus indicating the need to abandon this method at testing children and adolescents to primary tuberculosis, in favor of CT.
