Abstract
A sound understanding of informed consent is an important characteristic of a well-educated radiology resident. Many radiologists are regularly involved in performing diagnostic tests such as biopsies and therapeutic procedures such as abscess drainages. For all of these procedures, the informed consent of patients or guardians must be obtained. When informed consent is handled well, it exemplifies key features of good medicine. However, when it is handled poorly, it can not only lead to poor decisions, but can actually damage the relationship between patient and physician and undermine patients' general level of trust in the profession.
