| Summary: | This paper reports results from an empirical study of the effects of incidental findings on research subjects who took part in a whole-body MRI examination within a larger populationbased study in Germany. Following a brief review of the background and methods for this study, important quantitative and qualitative results will be discussed. The findings of this study suggest that a) inordinate or disproportionate stress is not observed in the vast majority of research subjects receiving incidental findings, despite assumptions to the contrary. However, an important caveat from the point of view of research ethics is that b) reactive stress, where it does occur, can be reduced by various measures, e.g. by modification of the approach to reporting findings and that c) approaches to informing research subjects of incidental findings from this type of study should be improved so that the research subjects can evaluate the validity of whole-body MRI results more realistically. |
