Abstract
The role of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET/computed tomography (CT) in tuberculosis (TB) continues to expand in disease detection, assessment of the extent of the disease, and treatment response monitoring. This article reviews available data regarding the use of FDG-PET/CT in patients with TB. A new method of quantification for patients with TB is introduced. This method produces robust parameters that represent the total disease burden.
