Diagn Interv Radiol. 2016 Nov-Dec;22(6):514-518. doi: 10.5152/dir.2016.15539.

Abstract

With the increasing use of computed tomography (CT), incidental breast lesions are detected more frequently. When interpreting chest CT findings, it is important for radiologists to carefully review the breast to recognize any abnormal findings that could affect patient management. The purpose of this study is to discuss incidental breast lesions on chest CT with ultrasonography correlation that may be encountered in routine clinical practice.
