Incidental findings in whole-body MR imaging of a population-based cohort study: Frequency, management and psychosocial consequences

European Journal of Radiology Dec 02, 2020

Schlett CL, Rospleszcz S, Korbmacher D, et al. - This study was sought to evaluate the frequency, management, and psychosocial consequences of incidental findings (IF) reporting in a population-based cohort study undergoing whole-body MR imaging. Researchers conducted a prospective cohort from a longitudinal, population-based cohort in southern Germany examining all MR obtained on 3 T MR scanner by board-certified radiologists regarding clinically relevant IF. According to the findings, IF was reported in 22% of individuals (n = 89); most frequently located in the abdominal sequences, out of 400 participants (56.3 ± 9.2years, 58% male) undergoing whole-body MR. The study found a high prevalence of IF in a cohort with whole-body MR imaging. As per the results, individuals considered reporting of IF highly important and added only minor psychological burden.
