Declarations
: All authors certify that they have no affiliations with or involvement in any organisation or entity with any financial interest or non-financial interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in this manuscript.
: As part of the patient workup at the Freiburg University Hospital, patients sign a data protection document in which they agree to their data being used for research and teaching purposes. Due to the high number of patients screened for this study, as well as the difficult nature of obtaining individual consent three years after the CT scan was performed, the decision was made against obtaining individual consent. This approach was approved by the local Ethics Committee.
: Ethical approval was waived by the local Ethics Committee of the University of Freiburg in view of the retrospective nature of the study, and all the procedures being performed were part of the routine care.
: All authors certify that they have no affiliations with or involvement in any organisation or entity with any financial interest or non-financial interest in the subject matter or materials discussed in this manuscript.
