The authors found in 1750 abdominal ultrasonograms 424 (24%) findings which were not related to the original purpose of the sonogram or to the actual disease and of which neither the treating physician nor the patient was aware. The most frequent findings were those of the kidney (147 patients), gallbladder/gallstones (99 cases) and of the liver (85 patients). The incidence of the unexpected findings increased with the patient's age. Most of the alterations were of benign nature, but some of them (21 cases) influenced the patient's further treatment.
作者在1750份腹部超声检查报告中发现了424项（24%）与超声检查的原始目的或实际疾病无关的结果，且治疗医生和患者均未意识到这些结果。最常见的发现是肾脏相关（147例患者）、胆囊/胆结石（99例）和肝脏相关（85例患者）。意外发现的发生率随患者年龄增加而升高。大多数改变为良性，但其中一些（21例）影响了患者的进一步治疗。
