Abstract
Incidental CT scan findings, such as bowel wall thickening or mass lesions, are common radiological findings on CT scans performed in the ER. Abnormal findings on CT scan often prompt further evaluation with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), small bowel enteroscopy (SBE) or colonoscopy. The clinical significance of such findings is debatable with conflicting results. Previous studies have shown a correlation of abnormal CT scan with colonoscopic findings of 55-74%. Currently, there are no evidenced-based guidelines on follow-up of patients with abnormal CT scan findings.
