Findings on Brain MRI from Research Studies of Occupational Exposure to Known Neurotoxicants

Abstract

In the population examined, there was a high prevalence of incidental brain and head and neck abnormality. Of particular concern were the serious health problems observed requiring urgent or immediate referral in 18.5% of the subjects. These findings underscore the need for radiologists to evaluate the anatomic images generated by research studies, particularly those with an older population base.
