Incidental Findings from 16,400 Brain MRI Examinations of Research Volunteers [ADULT BRAIN]

CONCLUSIONS:
Four percent of individuals who undergo research brain MRIs have an incidental, potentially clinically significant finding. Routine neuroradiologist review of all scans yields a much higher rate of significant lesion detection than selective referral from nonradiologists who perform the examinations. Workflow and scan review processes need to be carefully considered when designing research protocols.
