| dc.description.abstract | Aim: We aimed to evaluate what and how important incidentally detected pathologies in non-contrast computed tomography are. Methods: The tomography images of 341 patients who applied with the complaint of renal colic between January 2022 and June 2022 and were found to have ureteral stones in non-contrast computed tomography were analyzed. Incidentally detected pathologies of the patients were detected. The findings were analyzed in 3 groups: patients under the age of 40, between the ages of 40-65 and over the age of 65. In addition, these findings; They were also categorized as pathologies requiring urgent evaluation, Pathologies requiring frequent follow-up and further investigation, and Pathologies not requiring frequent follow-up and further evaluation. Results: Of the patients, 22.6% were female, 77.4% were male, and 40.2% were under the age of 40, 49.6% were in the 40-65 age group, and 10.3% were over 65 years of age. The most common pathology is in liver pathologies (24.3% hepatosteatosis). It was observed that the most pathology was detected in patients over 65 years of age. It was determined that the patients with pathologies requiring urgent evaluation or strict follow-up were mostly in the age group of 65 years or older. Conclusion: Radiology reports must be examined in the requested tomographies, so that the detected pathologies will be detected early and problems that may be experienced will be prevented. | |
