  1. The 78 CCTs of women with a detected incidental finding (IF) on full field of view (FOV) in the Erasmus Medical Center (EMC) were analyzed again in the small FOV (180 mm) reconstruction. Values are observed data in numbers (%)
  2. aFollow-up required = the number of women for whom follow-up of the incidental finding was required
  3. bClinically relevant findings = incidental findings which required further treatment
  4. *Percentage of number IFs in small FOV compared to full FOV
  5. **Percentage of follow-up required
