OCANDO ZIRITT, Mildred. Avances en el diagnóstico por imágenes desde una perspectiva bioética. RFM [online]. 2007, vol.30, n.1, pp.6-11. ISSN 0798-0469.

Since its beginning, radiology has become one of the most increasingly developed specialty in medicine. This responds to the technologic and scientific advances. This abrupt development has generated various bioethical dilemmas affecting its principles. The main objective of this research is to establish the bioethical repercussion derived from the technological advances in diagnostic imaging; this was made through bibliographic consults. The main finding is the substantial change of the traditional doctor-patient relationship, and the vision of the patient as a person.
