It was not aimless why dr. Yuyun chose her poster entitled “Imaging Features of Spinal Tuberculosis”. Currently, tuberculosis has been endemic in developing countries. With an early and accurate diagnosis, then its implementation can be correctly performed and better prognosis can also be done. Given that, it is then very vital to know the radiological image of extrapulmonal tuberculosis particularly in spinal area. If well and accurately performed, then tuberculous disease can be resolved which in turn results in the patient”s recovery.
