Incidental Findings on Lung Cancer Screening: Significance and Management

Incidental findings are commonly detected by computed tomography (CT), but distinguishing which findings have little or no clinical consequence and which are significant enough to require further evaluation is not always clear. This distinction is important for patient care and to ensure appropriate use of healthcare resources. This paper aims to highlight some of the incidental findings detected by low dose CT (LDCT) performed for lung cancer screening and to present an overview of currently accepted management recommendations.
