X-Ray /Sputum test for possible TB

2018-02-01 23:18:34
Today i went to a detailed procedural test from one of my panel physicians . They found a spot in my X-ray ( back and front ) after analysis they advised me to get sputum test done as the Physicians think that the minor white spot could be a sign of TUberculosis . They asked me to come on 3 consecutive days on fasting early morning to get sputum test done . My question is does X-ray really shows signs of definite TB ? Please note : I have NO signs of cough , breathing , weight loss etc
