Abstract

As medical imaging specialists we want to provide our patients with the best safest examination we can give them. We need to ensure that they have all the information they need to understand and then consent to their imaging procedure. We can only do this if we put them at the centre of the process. Consent was in the past limited to larger or more complicated procedures. The changing expectations mean we need to change our processes. The conundrum for low-risk procedures is how we do this in a busy X-ray department without compromising the quality of the information and the safety of our patients.
