This article reviews the concept of informed patient consent by examining two long-term studies in which adequate consent was not obtained from study participants: the radiation experiments sponsored by the U.S. government beginning in the 1940s and the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment conducted from 1932 to 1972. The article discusses how these experiments represent a violation of informed consent guidelines and research ethics. It also explores the ethical implications of the experiments to radiologic technologists today and discusses the technologist's role in obtaining patient consent in research and clinical practice settings.
本文通过审视两项未从研究参与者处获得充分同意的长期研究，回顾了患者知情同意的概念：始于20世纪40年代由美国政府资助的辐射实验，以及1932年至1972年进行的塔斯基吉梅毒实验。本文讨论了这些实验如何代表了对知情同意准则和研究伦理的违反。它还探讨了这些实验对当今放射技师的伦理影响，并讨论了技师在研究和临床实践环境中获取患者同意方面的作用。
