La radiographie thoracique occupe actuellement une place centrale dans l’arsenal diagnostique de la tuberculose. Cet important outil délaissé pendant longtemps du fait de quelques contraintes liées à son coût d’acquisition et à la disponibilité de ressources humaines qualifiées est devenu de nos jours de plus en plus accessible.
Il y a donc nécessité que les praticiens surtout ceux exerçant dans les régions les plus éloignées soient outillés pour l’interprétation d’une radiographie thoracique. Si vous êtes médecin exerçant au sein des Programmes Nationaux de lutte contre la Tuberculose (PNT) au niveau national, régional ou périphérique, ou clinicien exerçant en milieu hospitalier, ce cours est pour vous.
Ce cours, entièrement libre d’accès, a été développé dans le cadre du projet CETA sur financement de l’Agence Française de Développement.
