Recall accuracy of notifications about incidental findings from an MRI examination: results from a population-based study.

Most participants correctly recalled disclosed IFs. However, the probability of an event in case of a positive recall is barely above 50%. Therefore, relying on subjects' recall of disclosed IFs will lead to a relevant proportion of errors. Clinicians and researchers should be aware of this problem and of participants' characteristics which may moderate the probability of correct decisions based on recalled findings.
