![]() Image denoising is a procedure in digital image processing aiming at the removal of noise, which may corrupt an image during its acquisition or transmission, while retaining its quality. This paper deals with the various aspects and types of medical imaging. The diagnosis of a health problem is now highly dependent on the quality and the credibility of the image analysis. With the growth of computers and image technology, medical imaging has greatly influenced the medical field. Medical imaging refers to the techniques and processes used to create images of the human body for various clinical purposes such as medical procedures and diagnosis or medical science including the study of normal anatomy and function. Medical imaging technology has experienced a dramatic change in the last few years. The objective of this review was to determine the incidence, clinical significance and frequency of incidental findings on computed tomography (CT) in trauma patients. The absence of evidence-based control studies has led to unawareness of treatment and prognostic significance and implications for incidental finding. Clinicians should know how to treat the incidental findings on imaging, in-order to avoid any fatal consequences. The incidental findings help in additional medical care, diagnostic test, procedure and treatment to the patients is known as cascade effect. The pulmonary nodules on chest and ‘incidentalomas’ on abdominal imaging are classical examples for the same. The number of incidental findings has increased due to growing number of imaging techniques. The quality of medical imaging and access to new devices has increased, assuming that ‘newer is better’. The objective of imaging application is to use it as a diagnosing tool in helping medical practitioners and play an important role in the management of patients. Modern medical science has seen tremendous growth in the use of imaging technology. Key wordsĬomputed tomography, incidental findings, trauma Introduction Proper clinical examination and focused management follow up of incidental findings can result in appropriate patient care and prognosis. These findings are called as "incidental findings" in trauma patients. The importance of computed tomography scans in patients with suspected trauma was to assess the damage of organs or structures as a result of trauma however, sometimes findings unrelated to the trauma and not concerned to the immediate patient care are detected.
