Start4All: Using AI chest X-rays for TB diagnosis
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a way to find TB earlier by using chest X-rays read by artificial intelligence. If you are at least 10 years old and live in a community where TB is more common, this trial may help you get tested and diagnosed quickly.

This study tests rapid TB screening and lab-style diagnostic methods to see how well they find TB disease and TB that is resistant to rifampin (a key TB drug). It may help doctors diagnose TB faster and more accurately, especially in people at higher risk.
This study tests new, easier ways to diagnose TB, like tongue swabs or sputum tests. It is for people who have already had a chest X-ray with a computer-aided detection (CAD) score.
This study is testing new ways to quickly diagnose TB in children under 15. It aims to find better tests that can be used at clinics, especially for kids who may not have obvious symptoms.
