World Tuberculosis Day

24-03-2017

Today is World Tuberculosis Day. In 1884 at the 24th of March Robert Koch discovered the bacteria responsible for this deadly disease.

We at Medicover Hospital Hungary use this day to remember of the importance of prevention and screenings to fight off tuberculosis.

At least once a year it’s highly recommended to get a Chest x-ray or LDCT done.

Chest x-ray is probably widely known, it’s used to diagnosed pneumonia, tuberculosis or sometimes even tumors. However LDCT –Low Dose Computed Tomography is a less known tool for diagnosing sometimes deadly diseases.

At Medicover Hospital Hungary we offer LDCT as a screening method because its resolution offers a more precise and quicker diagnosis.
