Abstract:ÌýCNS tuberculosis is one of the most devastating and severe forms of tuberculosis (TB), accounting for 5-10% of extrapulmonary TB, with high morbidity and mortality in 50% of patients. In resource-limited countries in sub-Saharan Africa, the widespread availability of cross-sectional imaging can be a challenge. AI improvement in the techniques of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) in neuroradiology has primarily focused on neuro-oncology, stroke imaging, and hemorrhage. The question of exploring the role of AI in neuroimaging in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) and how well it will fare in the setting of images obtained from our own dataset (low-field magnets) remains.
