Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that claims millions of lives each year, primarily in impoverished places. Traditional TB screening procedures may not only take longer time, but may also be infeasible in areas with inadequate healthcare infrastructure. Artificial intelligence developments have propelled computer-aided diagnostic systems to new heights. The identification of TB using computer-aided approaches offers various benefits and has the potential to be superior to traditional diagnostic procedures, particularly in poor and middle-income countries where medical specialists and machinery are few. This survey article intends to describe the scientific effort done in computer assisted detection of TB and provides light on future research opportunities.
