In 2023, Channel24, one of Bangladesh’s most popular television channels, highlighted the role of portable X-ray technology and AI in advancing the country’s vision for a “Digital Bangladesh.” The report, filmed in Natore during a TB screening day, featured a radiographer who noted: “An important feature of this machine (CAD4TB) is that it uses AI to easily identify possible tuberculosis patients. People who live with TB patients are also being screened, and we are starting treatment very quickly.” Since the start of 2023, 2,254 people have been screened using our solutions, leading to the detection of 98 TB cases.
In a 2024 Devex special edition, Bangladesh emphasizes the role of CAD4TB and the Delft Light in transforming tuberculosis detection. With our solutions, icddr,b has been able to screen over 32,000 individuals and identified more than 1,450 TB cases. These innovations strengthen diagnostic accuracy and accessibility in pediatric care, significantly improving treatment outcomes in vulnerable communities.
Same year, Channel24 highlights the impact of portable X-ray technology in improving TB detection in rural Bangladesh. With increased access to early screening, more cases are being identified and treated, helping to strengthen TB control efforts.
