1 Incidental findings: A retrospective analysis of management
2 Authors and disclosures Authors: Steven Boe, Dana Boe, Jeffrey Kaye, Anu Bansal, Marc Glickstein Disclosures: None
3 Purpose Determine if appropriate follow-up is being recommended for incidental findings (IFs) detected on CT scans of the abdomen and pelvis
4 Background IFs are discovered on imaging studies performed for unrelated indications Aggressive management of IFs can lead to patient anxiety, increased radiation exposure, increased cost, and unnecessary procedures with potentially injurious outcomes
5 Background The American College of Radiology (ACR) has published several White Papers through the Incidental Findings Committees Committees were composed of experts in various organ systems Consensus agreements on management of IFs were reached based on available literature and personal experience
6 Methods and materials Retrospective chart review: 561 CT scan reports of the abdomen and pelvis performed at a tertiary medical center Scans with IFs were studied to determine if recommendations provided by the reading radiologist followed guidance provided by the ACR Incidental Findings Committees
7 Methods and Materials Organs included: kidneys, pancreas, spleen, adrenal glands, adnexa, gallbladder, biliary tract, vascular and nodal IFs excluded: hepatic cysts and masses Excluded due to difficulty in risk stratification and limited characterization with single phase CT If multiple IFs were found in one report, each IF was included due to separate and distinct recommendations Images were evaluated for clarification of findings as needed Institutional review board approval was obtained with waiver of consent
8 Results 317 IFs identified: 83.6% ED, 13.9% inpatient, and 2.5% outpatient Appropriate management for 90.5% Majority of remaining 9.5% included lack of recommended follow up for aneurysms, adrenal nodules, and adnexal cysts in postmenopausal women Proper follow-up not advised for a complex renal cyst and a renal mass Unnecessary follow-up studies recommended for 2 adrenal nodules, 2 premenopausal cysts, and 1 pancreatic cyst
9 Results Table 1. IFs identified along with appropriateness of management. Total Appropriately managed Inappropriately managed Renal cysts 147, , , 0.7 Cholecystic 42, , 100 0, 0 Adnexal cysts 33, , , 21.2 Adrenal nodules 24, , 75 6, 25 Aneurysms 19, 6 5, , 73.7 Biliary 17, , 100 0, 0 Nodal 16, 5 16, 100 0, 0 Pancreatic cysts 5, 1.6 4, 80 1, 20 Splenic cysts 5, 1.6 5, 100 0, 0 Venous findings 4, 1.3 4, 100 0, 0 Renal masses 3, 0.9 2, , 33.3 Pancreatic masses 1, 0.3 1, 100 0, 0 Splenic masses 1, 0.3 1, 100 0, 0 Reported as number, percentage
10 Conclusion Majority of inappropriate management included lack of recommended follow up for aneurysms, adrenal nodules, and adnexal cysts in postmenopausal women. Increased awareness of management guidelines available for IFs may improve long-term patient outcomes and minimize unnecessary follow up.
