Abstract
The objective of this study is to identify and detail the radiologic manifestations of surgical site and disseminated Mycobacterium chimaera (MC) infection. The aim is to facilitate early identification and diagnosis of MC, considering its indolent nature and the challenges involved in clinically and pathologically establishing the diagnosis.
