Abstract

The nontuberculous mycobacterial infection (NTMB) usually cause chronic, indolent pulmonary infection. The purpose of this article is to review radiologic manifestations of pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial infection. Common and well-recognized patterns of NTMB infection include cavitary and bronchiectatic disease. Less common manifestations include nodules or masses mimicking malignancy and others. Definitive diagnosis can be difficult and patterns may overlap. Knowledge of the full spectrum of radiological findings is important to facilitate diagnosis and treatment.
