One of the lesions that can be found in pulmonary TB and other lung diseases is cavities.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the profile of thoracic photographs in pulmonary TB patients before and after TB treatment for 6 months at the radiology installation of RSU Vina Estetica Medan city.

Research method: The type of research used is observational analytic measurement research, using a cross sectional design approach.

Research Results: The total number of research samples was 58 samples. Analysis using the Mac-Nemar chi square test. The results showed that there were significant changes in the infiltrate, homogeneous consolidation, fibrosis, fibroinfiltrate

Conclusion: The research results found significant changes in the Infiltrate, homogeneous consolidation, fibrosis, and fibroinfiltrate images on chest X-rays of pulmonary tuberculosis patients before and after initial treatment p<0.05, which indicates that there is a significant relationship between the tested variables.
