Managing Incidentalomas Safely: Do Computed Tomography Requisitions Tell Us What We Need to Know? Tập 68 - Trang 387-391 - 2017
Matthew Walker, Joy Borgaonkar, Daria Manos
Purpose Technological advancements and the ever-increasing use of computed tomography (CT) have greatly increased the detection of incidental findings, including tiny pulmonary nodules. The management of many “incidentalomas” is significantly influenced by a patient's history of cancer. The study aim is to determine if CT requisitions include prior histor...... hiện toàn bộ
