摘要
There has been a dramatically increased awareness of the substantial clinical challenges posed by incidental findings found on cross-sectional imaging. In 2006, an Incidental Findings Committee was organized under the Body Imaging Commission in the American College of Radiology to create a consistent and rational approach to these findings. This article describes the formation, process of developing recommendations, and future tasks of this committee.
