Pictorial review presents the sample of the most frequent forms of tuberculous manifestation, and their appearances on plain radiograph, computed tomography and hybrid imaging with PET/CT. There are described typical forms of secondary tuberculosis, including the clinically severe forms, like pulmonary miliary tuberculosis, infiltrative tuberculosis, tuberculosis with the cavitation including fibrocavernous tuberculosis, tuberculous pleuritis, tuberculous pericarditis. The rarer forms are displayed like systemic miliary tuberculosis, tuberculous lymphadenitis, intestinal tuberculosis, and forms of isolated tuberculosis of kidneys and vertebral column.

Keywords: Mycobacterium tuberculosis, tuberculosis, radiography, computed tomography, positron emission tomography
