title: [Computed and magnetic resonance tomography in the differential diagnosis of osteoarticular tuberculosis].
abstract: Due to their high resolving capacity, computerized and magnetic resonance tomographic examinations allow early detection of tuberculosis lesions in vertebral column, large joints and their surrounding soft tissues. They also widen the possibilities for differential diagnosis, help to individualize the choice of adequate treatment, improve the outcomes of this treatment and decrease the period of patients' intrahospital stay.
