The purpose o this exhibit is to: 1. Discuss the utility of imaging and laboratory tests in the diagnosis and management of pulmonary tuberculosis.
 2. Demonstrate the radiographic and CT findings of tuberculosis with emphasis on differences between immunocompetent and immunocompromised patients. 3. Discuss an algorithm for the management and treatment of active and latent tuberculosis.

1. Description of TB classification system.
 2. Illustration of an algorithm for diagnosis and management of pulmonary tuberculosis.
 3. Discussion of how the radiographic finding of cavitation affects management and prognosis.
 4. Pictorial review of radiographic and CT findings in pulmonary tuberculosis.
