Incidental Extra Spinal Findings at CT Lumbar Spine on Wide Field of View Reconstructions
Computed tomographic (CT) imaging of the lumbar spine is frequently performed to evaluate patients with lumbar back pain or radicular symptoms. The images for reporting are commonly magnified around the lumbar spine cropping out much of the intra abdominal and retroperitoneal structures. While this provides optimal delineation of spinal pathologies, it potentially results in the exclusion of important extraspinal pathologies from the final dataset.
