摘要：
We encountered incidental findings during electron beam computed tomographic examinations for coronary calcium in 79 of 1,000 middle-aged men and women (40 to 45 years old). Incidental findings, of which pulmonary findings were most common (29% of cases), were estimated to result in an average cost of $36/patient undergoing electron beam computed tomography.
