Video Summary

Faisal Nabi, a multimodality cardiac imager, presented a talk on incidental findings on CT scans that should not be missed. He emphasized the use of cardiac CT in conjunction with nuclear cardiology for a more comprehensive evaluation of patients. He discussed the different structures in the thorax and the importance of knowing the normal anatomy to identify abnormalities. He also mentioned different imaging windows and techniques to improve image interpretation. Nabi highlighted specific findings such as pericardial effusions, pericardial calcification, myocardial infarction, lymphadenopathy, breast masses, lung consolidations, pleural effusions, hiatal hernias, liver steatosis, gallstones, kidney stones, bone lesions, and compression fractures.
