Optimizing diagnostic outcomes and sustainability in radiological practices: a multicentric study on guideline adherence and incidental findings in elective chest CT scans
This study highlights significant opportunities to refine patient selection and radiological recommendations through adherence to Fleischner Society and ACR guidelines. By integrating evidence-based practices into routine workflows, the findings advocate for reduced unnecessary imaging, enhanced diagnostic pathways, and sustainable healthcare practices in chest CT imaging.
