Abstract
This research explores the multifaceted ethical considerations in medical imaging. It covers informed consent, patient privacy, data security, and the responsible use of AI, including issues of bias and accountability. The ethical management of incidental findings, radiation exposure, and data sharing for research are also addressed. The role of radiologists as patient advocates and ethical dilemmas in interventional radiology are examined, underscoring the need for patient-centered care and safety.
