Update on Management of Incidental Findings Seen on Imaging Studies of the Abdomen and Pelvis

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to update the management guidelines for incidental findings (IFs) observed in abdominal and pelvic imaging studies, addressing the clinical significance of these findings, which can range from benign to potentially malignant. They review recent literature that either supports or contradicts existing guidelines from the American College of Radiology, while also highlighting common IFs that have not been previously discussed in official white papers. This update seeks to mitigate unnecessary follow-up procedures and the associated burdens on patients and the healthcare system.
