Dear Colleagues
Our IRB has asked for language to be inserted in the consent form and
description of a fMRI/DTI research project that would include a
section on "incidental findings" (see for example:
http://www.ninds.nih.gov/news_and_events/proceedings/ifexecsummary.htm.
Our research involves acquisition of fMRI and DTI data and we also
acquire a SPGR whole-brain and T1 images for co-registration but no
other "clinical" images. Does anyone have experience as to what would
be the appropriate language covering "incidental findings" to use in
this situation for IRB approval? Thanks. Manbir Singh
