A review of incidental findings on low-resolution CT images during SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging : a clinical dilemma (2016)
Journal Article

Incidental findings are common in medical imaging. There is a particularly high
prevalence of incidental findings within the thorax, the most frequent being
pulmonary nodules. Whilst pulmonary nodules have the potential to be
malignant, the vast m... Read More about A review of incidental findings on low-resolution CT images during SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging : a clinical dilemma.
