Abstract

Ethical aspect of medicine has become fundamental in dealing with patients. Ethical conduct also plays an important role at the level of residency. For radiology residents it is as important as it is for more clinical services such as surgical or medical residents, because in the new era of radiology patient interaction has increased substantially. Ethics in imaging is not only concerned when there is direct patient contact. In radiology, behind every image is a patient and interpreting any image or performing a procedure implies that a resident is a part of the team managing the patient.
