Managing incidental findings on abdominal and pelvic CT and MRI, Part 2: white paper of the ACR Incidental Findings Committee II on vascular findings

Abstract

This white paper describes vascular incidental findings found on CT and MRI of the abdomen and pelvis. Recommendations for management are included. This represents the second of 4 such papers from the ACR Incidental Findings Committee II, which used a consensus method based on repeated reviews and revisions and a collective review and interpretation of relevant literature. Topics include definitions and recommended management for abdominal aortic, iliac, splenic, renal, and visceral artery aneurysms. Other incidentally discovered aortic conditions, systemic venous anomalies, compression syndromes, abdominal venous thrombosis, and gonadal and pelvic venous conditions are also discussed. A table is provided for reference.
