About this guide and methodology
This quick-reference guide synthesizes organ-specific incidental-finding guidelines from multiple professional societies. Where recommendations differed slightly, the most widely adopted thresholds were used. It covers common findings but is not exhaustive.
Contrast guidance reflects the imaging protocols in those guidelines, supplemented by ACR Appropriateness Criteria and current NCCN recommendations. Individual radiology consultation may be appropriate.
