Seventy-three patients were included.

Mean age was 56.2\u2009\u00b1\u200911.8. One-hundred eighty-three quadrants and 98 sides were explored surgically. Thirty-seven patients (69.8%) underwent a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Across the whole cohort, multiphase CT demonstrated a sensitivity of 70.4% (95% CI: 58-81) and specificity of 86.4% (79-92). For lateralization, performance was higher with sensitivity 82.6% (72-91) and specificity 86.2% (68-96).
