After 6-month chemotherapy was completed, the results of chest rediography were in a similar trend comparing to that of sputum examination in 94.0% cases. During 18 months follow-up in 107 (37.9%) of 282 cases, the remained shadows in chest radiography continued to resolve and in 14 (58%) of 24 cases, remained in chest radiograph were closed.

对287例接受6个月短程化疗的涂片阳性肺结核患者的胸部X光片进行了评估。在完成6个月化疗后，94.0%的病例胸部X光检查结果与痰检结果呈相似趋势。在282例患者中的107例（37.9%）进行的18个月随访期间，胸部X光片中残留的阴影继续消散，在24例患者中的14例（58%）中，胸部X光片中的残留阴影闭合。结论是，在评估6个月短程化疗结果时，痰检比胸部X光检查简单、可靠且成本更低。
