- The researcher should complete the Incidental Findings Form: https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cN2iwNutib7AOG1.
- The BIC Safety Panel will process the form and form and coordinate any contact between the subject and Medical Director as necessary. Once all the procedures have been completed, the PI of the study will be notified IF the findings are medically significant. The outcome of the Incidental Findings process is considered confidential information and will not be disclosed to the research team. At the request of the PI, the BIC Safety Panel may disclose whether the finding was normal biological variation or if a clinical follow-up was warranted. Since research images are inherently non-diagnostic, a clinical follow-up does not indicate that the incidental finding was medically significant and may occur if images of higher quality are required.
