1. Discuss the physiopathology, epidemiology, and clinical manifestations of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB). 2. Learn to recognize the atypical distribution and patterns in PTB, such as clusters of small nodules, confluent micronodules, reversed halo sign, fissural nodularity, tracheobronchial abnormalities, endogenous reactivation, Rasmussen's aneurysm. 3. Review and illustrate associated imaging findings and the differences between active and inactive disease. 4. Discuss the main differential diagnosis.
