Informed consent is an important part of the clinician-patient relationship. However, studies suggest consent practices tend to be limited in consistency and completeness. This may be particularly challenging for interventional radiology given more limited public awareness and the often fast-paced, dynamic nature of our practices. This article reviews these challenges as well as ideal consent practices and potential approaches to improve consent in interventional radiology. Le consentement éclairé constitue un aspect fondamental de la relation clinicien-patient. Cependant, des études suggèrent que les pratiques relatives au consentement ont tendance à être limitées en matière de cohérence et d’exhaustivité. Cela peut s’avérer particulièrement difficile dans le cadre de la radiologie interventionnelle, compte tenu de la sensibilisation plus restreinte du public et de la nature souvent rapide et dynamique de nos pratiques. Cet article examine ces enjeux, ainsi que les meilleures pratiques relatives au consentement et les approches potentielles pour renforcer le consentement en radiologie interventionnelle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
