Potentially relevant incidental findings on research whole-body MRI in the general adult population: frequencies and management

Abstract: Potentially relevant incidental findings are very common in wb-MRI research but the nature of these findings remains unclear in most cases. This requires dedicated management to protect subjects' welfare and research integrity.

“…The prevalence in other whole-body MRI studies of healthy populations ranged from 12.8% to 57.6% [15][16][17][18] . Since those studies used similar MRI sequences applied to similar tissue volumes, variations in prevalence are most likely to have arisen from differences in the definition of IFs, or in the age and other characteristics of the imaged populations.…”

“…Preventive health checks enjoy rising popularity among healthy people, although the health benefits have never been demonstrated [7]. Particularly, a fullbody scan by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commercially exploited and is advertised as a screening test to detect cancer early: ''Better safe than sorry'' [8]. The Se and Sp of MRI for the screening of cancer have never been assessed, and the nearest comparable imaging technique we found was 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography combined with computerized axial tomography (FDG-PET/CT) for the detection of unknown primary cancers.…”
