The incidental findings on SPECT/CT in combination with lymphoscintigraphy is within the range of previous studies (27.3-59.5%). A small proportion of patients required significant major interventions (3.4%). We propose that all incidental findings should be assessed according to our WSIF classification to aid in triaging need for further investigation and management.
