Findings unrelated to prostate cancer were considered as incidental findings and categorized into two groups based on their clinical implications as follows: imaging follow-up or additional examinations was required (significant incidental findings) and no need to additional work-up (non-significant incidental findings). A chi-square test was performed to compare the differences in the prevalence of significant incidental findings based on age (\u226475\u2009and&amp;gt;75 years old).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 334 incidental findings were found with 8.1% (n = 27) as significant incidental findings.
