As a long-time partner to Indonesia’s TB screening efforts, researchers studied the use of CAD4TB among Indonesians living with Diabetes Mellitus (PLWD). This was particularly important as Diabetes Mellitus is a significant risk factor for TB.
The study, already published in 2018, showed the potential use of CAD4TB as a triage tool for TB screening in PLWD, significantly reducing the need for microbiological examination.

A retrospective study of 1,100+ chest X-rays in an Indonesian hospital showed CAD4TB v7 achieved 81% sensitivity and 64% specificity, comparable to radiologists. Its accuracy remained strong among patients without pleural effusion or HIV, and those without prior TB. These results highlight CAD4TB’s value as a reliable triage tool, especially in complex cases and settings lacking immediate radiology expertise.
