patients had a signicant ECF (E4). Almost 70%
of these ndings proved to be clinically signicant and required treatment or surveillance:
malignancies and aneurysms, for example [23].

sex [31]. A trabecular bone score (TBS) is a tool
which adds to predicting risk of fracture in persons who are in the osteopenia or normal range
[32, 33]. Furthermore, this tool may be used to
adjust FRAX (fracture risk assessment tool) probabilities of fracture [33]. Literature reports that

diagnosis of osteoporosis [34]. Chapter 25 presents a discussion of AI and ML in imaging.
Concurrent screening for osteoporosis and
Usually opportunistic has negative connotations
[24] (e.g., unprincipled, exploitation). In 1995,
opportunistic screening was described as offering a
test for an unsuspected pathology which is not
related to the reason for the examination [25]. In
radiology, opportunistic screening, according to
Pickhardt [24], is the practice of maximum use of
imaging data, unrelated to the clinical indication,
for risk proling and prevention of relevant disease.
According to Boutin and Lenchik [26], the use of
opportunistic screening for osteoporosis and sarcopenia at CT is a value-added benet for patients.
Opportunistic screening at screening CTC benets
men and women if an early diagnosis of osteoporosis is made [26–28]. Men and women who present
for screening CTC would benet if an early diagnosis of osteoporosis is made. Osteoporosis is a
silent disease and pathological fractures impact on
health services and the mortality of the elderly [29].
Literature reports that testing and treatment rates in
men are low despite them having high prevalence
of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and fractures; morbidity and mortality are signicant in men with osteoporotic hip fractures [30].
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA or
DEXA) is the most used modality to determine
BMD.Two scores (i.e., T-score and Z-score) are
usually presented. Both are used for women and
men. A T-score indicates a comparison of the
BMD of healthy 30year old: −1.0=normal, −1.0
to −2.5=osteopenia, and ≥−2.5=osteoporosis;
and a Z-score compares amount of bone present
with that of others in the same age group, size and
CRC at CTC adds to service delivery to patients.
By using the region of interest (ROI) to measure
trabecular bone mineral density (BMD) of L1 of
2D CT scans does not increase radiation dose to
a patient [24, 28]; if there is a compressed
fracture of LI the Hounseld unit (HU) of L2 is
measured. It is recommended that the HU measurements are included in CTC reports (see
Table 21.2 in Chap. 21).
The use of ROI to measure BMD provides
information to identify fracture risk of patients
who undergo screening CTC for CRC [35]. This
means that more patients can be assessed for
osteoporosis. This is important as there has been
underutilisation of preventive osteoporosis strategies [30]. CTC is a cost-effective study for
screening of CRC [36]; hence, there are no additional costs in opportunistic screening. Table18.3
shows Hounseld unit (HU) range for BMD.
The ROI must only include the trabecular bone
of a vertebra to obtain an accurate HU reading.
Figure18.5a (i, ii) shows incorrect ROI placement.
It is important that ROI placement is correct to
obtain the HU values of trabecular bone. Correct
ROI placement is illustrated in Fig.18.5b (i, ii).
Figure18.5c (i) shows osteoporosis at CTC on a
female patient and Fig.18.5c (ii) shows osteoporosis in a male patient. As evident in Fig.18.5d, the
HU value is <100 indicating osteoporosis.

namely a HU reading of >100 to <160. Osteopenia

18.7 Calcic Score: Abdominal
Aortic Calcication
A recent prospective study over 14years of bone
mineral density screening and monitoring of elderly
women focussed on abdominal aortic calcication
(AAC) on lateral spine DXA scans [37]. The study
measured the amount of calcium present in the wall
of the aorta and scored the amount of calcium present as: low, moderate, and extensive. The ndings
were that those patients with moderate and extensive calcication had a higher incidence of demen-

tia and hospitalisation compared to those with a low
score [37]. This shows that extra-coronary vascular
calcication in patients may be a marker for late-life
dementia. The study only included lateral spine
DXA scans. In terms of ECFs, the abdominal aorta
is one of the sites where calcication is seen at
CTC: AAC is common in both men and women.
Late-life dementia (>80years of age) may be related
to vascular or nonvascular causes and is a major
global health issue. Figure18.6a–d shows normal
abdominal aorta and abdominal aortic calcication
at CTC.

18.8 Inguinal Hernias
asExtracolonic Findings:
AnOverview, Types ofHernia,
Complications, andRepair
Inguinal hernias are commonly present in males
and rare in females. They often remain undiagnosed
as many patients do not complain of symptoms or
swelling in the groin region. Hernias at CTC are
reported as ECFs. Abdominal herniation may be
dened as the protrusion of part of its content from
the abdominal cavity through a normal or abnormal
aperture or from wall weakness [38]. Hernias may
be reducible (i.e., can be safely pushed back into the
abdominal cavity) or irreducible. The latter may
then result in vascular compromise and possible
ischaemia and ultimately gangrene [39]. A hernia
may cause obstruction resulting in failure of intestinal content to pass through the obstructed area [39].
18.8.1 Types ofHernias
Hernias may be congenital or acquired. A congenital malformation occurs in new-borns whilst in
adults a hernia is due to stress on the abdominal
wall, or a weakness in the elderly [40]. Indirect
inguinal hernias are the most common and protrude through the patent internal (deep) inguinal
ring lateral to the inferior epigastric vessels. In
men, the hernia may extend together with the spermatic cord into the scrotum. In women, the hernia
may follow the course of the round ligament into
the labia majora [41]. The peritoneal sac containing
bowel loops may protrude through the inguinal
canal and emerge at the external inguinal ring.
Direct inguinal hernias behave differently: they
extend through an acquired weakness in the posterior wall of the canal, known as the Hesselbach triangle, and pass medially to the inferior epigastric
vessels. A femoral hernia on the other hand passes
through the femoral canal, which is medial to the
femoral vein and below the inguinal canal and lateral to the pelvic tubercle. Women have a wider
bony pelvis compared to men thus femoral hernias
are more common in women. Figure18.7a (i, ii)
shows a femoral hernia in a female. Figure18.7b
(i)–(vi) depicts small bowel bilateral inguinal hernia (E4 classication). Figure18.7c (i, ii) shows a
large bowel inguinal hernia (E4 classication).
18.8.2 Tips toDetermine Whether
Small or Large Bowel Is
Trapped inanInguinal Hernia
• If valvulae conniventes are seen within the
trapped bowel, the diagnosis is small bowel as
shown in Fig.18.7d. If haustral markings are
observed, then it is large bowel.
• The most accurate way of deciding whether it
is small or large bowel is by looking at the
colon-map, initially with small bowel included
and then removing the small bowel which is
usually an automatic process.
• If the contour of the large bowel remains intact,
then no large bowel has herniated and the content is small bowel as shown in Fig.18.7e (i, ii).
• When large bowel herniates, it is usually sig-
moid colon. A colon-map will show displacement of sigmoid colon inferiorly, making it a
left-sided hernia entering the scrotum in the
male (Fig.18.7e (iii)) and possibly in the labia
of the female.
• Colon hernias are usually left-sided.
18.8.3 Frequency ofInguinal Hernias
Inguinal hernias are 20 times more common in
men than women [42, 43]. Dabbas et al. [44]
underscore that inguinal hernia repair was carried
out almost 15 times more in men than women.
They state that there has been a reduction in inguinal hernias over time accompanied by an increase
in the proportion of midline abdominal wall hernia repairs. Inguinal hernias are a more common
cause of groin pain, and their repair is the commonest one for hernias. Dabbas etal. [44] report
that 96.8% of repair cases were in men and 3.2%
in women. Figure 18.7f (i) is an ECF of small
bowel in a right inguinal hernia and Fig.18.7f (ii)
is an ECF of bilateral inguinal hernias.
18.8.4 Complications
Complications of abdominal wall hernias include
obstruction, incarceration and strangulation, and
clinically include abdominal pain, vomiting, and
distension. Adhesions are the leading cause of
bowel obstruction, followed by abdominal her-
