Highly portable and accessible MRI technology will allow researchers to conduct field-based MRI research in community settings. Previous guidance for researchers working with fixed MRI does not address the novel ethical, legal, and societal issues (ELSI) of portable MRI (pMRI). Our interdisciplinary Working Group (WG) previously identified 15 core ELSI challenges associated with pMRI research and recommended solutions. In this article, we distill those detailed recommendations into a Portable MRI Research ELSI Checklist that offers practical operational guidance for researchers contemplating using this technology.
高度便携且易于使用的磁共振成像(MRI)技术将使研究人员能够在社区环境中开展基于实地的MRI研究。先前针对使用固定式MRI的研究人员的指南并未涉及便携式MRI(pMRI)所面临的新的伦理、法律和社会问题(ELSI)。我们的跨学科工作组(WG)此前确定了与pMRI研究相关的15项核心ELSI挑战并提出了应对方案。在本文中,我们将这些详细建议提炼成一份《便携式MRI研究ELSI清单》,为考虑使用该技术的研究人员提供切实可行的操作指南。
