Prevalence of non 18F ‐fluorodeoxyglucose‐avid incidental findings of clinical significance on whole body positron emission tomography/computed tomography: A review of 500 consecutive cases

Routine systematic review of the low‐dose CT is required to avoid missing potentially clinically important findings, in particular pleural effusions, vascular aneurysms and metastatic pulmonary nodules.
