Recent trends in medical decision-making have moved from paternalistic doctor-patient relations to shared decision-making. Informed consent is fundamental to this process and to ensuring patients' ongoing trust in the health-care profession. It cannot be assumed that patients consent to the risk associated with medical exposures, unless they have been provided with the information to make that decision. This position is supported by both the legal and ethical framework around Radiation Protection detailed in this commentary.
近年来,医学决策已从家长式的医患关系转向共同决策。知情同意是这一过程的基础,也是确保患者对医疗保健行业持续信任的关键。除非患者已经获得了做出这一决策所需的信息,否则不能假设他们同意与医疗照射相关的风险。这一立场得到了本评论中详细阐述的辐射防护法律和伦理框架的支持。
