Application value of volumetric CT value in quantifying the activity of a pulmonary tuberculoma.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this study was to explore the auxiliary diagnostic value of volumetric CT value in quantifying the activity of a pulmonary tuberculoma.

Methods

Chest CT image data of 112 patients with pulmonary tuberculomas who were diagnosed clinically between October 16, 2013 and March 21, 2023 were selected. With the shortest diameter axis>5 mm on the mediastinal window serving as the inclusion criterion, 108 active tuberculomas and 64 non-active tuberculomas were selected. The focused image was manually segmented using ITK-SNAP software, the volumetric CT value of the focus was calculated, and the ROC curve was analyzed. Using the final clinical diagnosis as the reference standard, the auxiliary diagnostic efficacy and consistency of the conventional CT film rea
