RESUMO

This study represents the understanding and practice of radiologists in Nigeria in obtaining informed consent from patients before administering radiological contrast media. 120 questionnaires were sent to radiologists practicing in Nigeria. 78(65%) responded, 60(76.9%) of the respondents understood informed consent to mean informing a patient about a procedure and obtaining consent to carry out the procedure. Whereas for consent to be informed it must include the nature of the procedure, purpose, risks and benefits. 52(66.7%) obtained either written or verbal consent while 26(33.3%) neither informed patient nor obtained consent. However, all respondents understood that failure to obtain consent may result in possible litigation by patient or relative while 69(88.5%) requested for a specific policy regarding informed consent. It is concluded that the radiologist in Nigeria does not fully understand the concept of informed consent. A specific policy should be made by the appropriate professional body in Nigeria as to what constitutes the requirements of a truly informed consent since there are simply no guidelines for now. Also informed consent forms, simple enough for patients to understand should be designed. These will assist the individual specialist in the conduct of their practice

RESUMO

A retrospective study of 1000 chest radiographs randomly selected from various government and private owned hospitals in the southern part of Nigeria covering a period of twenty years was carried out. Accuracy in patient positioning; beam collimation and identification of radiographs were assessed as indicators for quality assurance and radiation protection. The result showed that for male 59 were rotated and 41 were not. For the female; 60 were rotated while 39 were not. 95.30 radiographs were inadequately collimated; and 69.30 were properly identified. This suggests poor quality and exposure of patients to unnecessary radiation though more attention was paid to identification of radiographs
