Abstract

This review investigates that there has been an increase in incidental brain MRI findings due to better technology and more scans. These unexpected, asymptomatic anomalies range from harmless to serious, requiring careful clinical and ethical handling. The prevalence of incidental findings with brain MRI is 6.3% and even higher when including white matter hyperintensities. There is a significant variation in this number dependent on the age of the person being scanned and the MRI quality.
