  ABSTRACT: Tuberculosis (TB) results from infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and can involve any organ or tissue. Early diagnosis of TB is essential for timely initiation of therapy in order to decrease transmission rate and avoid severe morbidity associated with delayed treatment. Although conventional radiography remains the most common initial imaging modality in diagnosis of pulmonary TB, computer tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are modalities of choice with regards to diagnosis of extra-pulmonary TB. The purpose of this paper is to provide a concise review of various imaging manifestations of TB in various organ systems, in order to promote radiologists’ and clinicians’ familiarity with common radiological findings of this important disease.
