Abstract
Incidental findings on pediatric imaging studies can adversely impact patients and their families when inappropriately managed. However, there is limited literature on management of these findings in the pediatric population, and guidelines for similar findings in adult patients may not be suitable. Here, examples of incidental findings in children are illustrated to give readers a practical understanding of how pediatric incidental findings may differ from those in adults. The ACR's planned approach to developing pediatric-specific guidance for incidental findings is outlined, and a strategy for managing pediatric incidental findings in the absence of specific pediatric guidance is also provided.
