Incidental Findings on MRI Brain Imaging in Pilots from the Canadian White Matter Hyperintensity Study

The rate and nature of incidental findings in RCAF members in the White Matter Hyperintensity Study is consistent with that found in both the general population and in other military pilot populations. There is no international standard for screening or management of incidental findings; therefore, we recommend an approach that involves a case-by-case evaluation of the findings by a multidisciplinary medical team, with careful identification and consideration for high-risk features.
