Classification of incidental findings in polytrauma computed tomography

DKDaniela KildalRBRainer BraunschweigSRStefan Reske

Key Points

  • The aim is to establish a standardized classification for incidental findings in polytrauma cases.
  • Proposed a classification system for incidental findings in WBCT scans.
  • Categorized findings into 5 distinct categories labeled IF-RADS 1-5.
  • Analyzed the occurrence of incidental findings alongside trauma-related findings.
  • Identified that incidental findings are as prevalent as trauma-related findings.
  • Introduced five categories to systematically classify incidental findings.

Abstract

In polytrauma, IFs are as common as trauma-related findings. There is a need for standardized classification. For IFs in WBCT scans, we propose a classification into 5 categories, labeled as IF-RADS 1-5.
