Computed tomography (CT) is a frequently performed examination in women of all ages. In all thoracic CT examinations of the chest at least parts of the breasts are included. Therefore incidental breast pathology may be observed. It has been suggested that one out of 250 women undergoing chest CT will show a malignant incidental breast lesion. Given the high number of performed chest CT examinations, this contributes to a significant number of malignancies. In this review, after a brief discussion of the value of computed tomography in breast imaging, normal and pathologic findings are discussed to create awareness of this potential "black box" on chest CT.
计算机断层扫描（CT）是各年龄段女性中经常进行的一项检查。在所有胸部CT检查中，至少会包含部分乳房。因此，可能会观察到偶然发现的乳腺病变。据推测，每250名接受胸部CT检查的女性中就有1人会出现偶然发现的乳腺恶性病变。鉴于进行胸部CT检查的人数众多，这导致了相当数量的恶性肿瘤被发现。在本综述中，在简要讨论计算机断层扫描在乳腺成像中的价值之后，将讨论正常和病理表现，以提高对胸部CT上这一潜在“黑匣子”的认识。
