Abstract
Imaging in the clinical study has a significant value in medical diagnosing and the following diseases. The characteristic signs of imaging are a clue in approach to differential diagnosis. A conventional chest x-ray radiography is a more prevalent image used in the initial clinical assessment of pulmonary diseases. Iran is one of the 9 countries with a 95% burden of tuberculosis in the Eastern Mediterranian region. Chest radiography is the initial imaging for the evaluation of pulmonary tuberculosis.
