Incidental findings on whole-body computed tomography in trauma patients: the current state of incidental findings and the effect of implementation of a feedback system.

Aim: Whole-body computed tomography (CT) for trauma occasionally reveals significant incidental findings not related to trauma, which require an adequate response. In this study, we examined the current state of incidental findings in trauma patients on whole-body CT and the effects of the feedback system.

Methods: The subject sample included trauma patients who underwent whole-body CT while being examined for trauma during the 2-year period, with the interpretation of the CT reported by a radiologist.
