Figure 3

TB cases detection and requirements for screening chest X-rays and confirmatory tests of each algorithm, assuming 1% TB prevalence among the screened population. CXR = chest X-ray for screening; SSM = sputum smear microscopy; XP = Xpert MTB/RIF; TP = true positive; 1 = first screen; 2 = second screen if the first screen is positive.
