The introduction of portable MRI (pMRI) has the potential to directly impact dementia research and ultimately clinical care. In this paper, we explore two ethical challenges facing the introduction of pMRI in dementia research. The first is the need to ensure that pMRI enhances rather than undermines efforts aimed at improving ethnoracial representation in dementia research. The second is the need to implement pMRI in dementia research in a dementia-friendly way that attends to the social context and lived experience of people with dementia.
便携式磁共振成像(pMRI)的引入有可能直接影响痴呆症研究,并最终影响临床护理。在本文中,我们探讨了在痴呆症研究中引入pMRI所面临的两个伦理挑战。第一个挑战是需要确保pMRI能够加强而不是削弱旨在提高痴呆症研究中种族代表性的努力。第二个挑战是需要以一种关注痴呆症患者的社会背景和生活经历的、对痴呆症友好的方式在痴呆症研究中应用pMRI。
