Trends and Future Directions for Tuberculosis Detection Research: A Study from 2018 to 2022

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium. This disease is responsible for a significant number of deaths worldwide due to the lack of early diagnosis and inadequate expertise of radiologists. TB has a high death rate, and early detection can lead to a decrease in the number of deaths caused by this disease. Digital chest radiography is the most popular technique for the early detection of TB. This study is a systematic review of various tuberculosis detection techniques. The review examines research studies published between 2018 and 2022 and identifies the databases, methods, and various classification and feature extraction techniques used in previously published papers. Based on prior published papers, this study analyses various techniques and identifies the best methods for tuberculosis detection. The purpose of this study is to outline the current state of tuberculosis detection research and identify the most efficient methods for detecting TB.
