Notes:

The size of the cyst is a single measurement of the greatest length of the cyst in the long axis on either the axial or coronal images.
 

For “white-dot” (<5 mm) lesions seen on T2 weighted MRI, one follow-up CT or MRI at 2 years demonstrating stability is sufficient to stop surveillance. Some radiologist do not report these lesions in patients over 75 years of age.
