儿科神经影像学伴随着与成人神经影像学相关的所有伦理困境，显着放大。童年的决定性特征使得在道德上与人口打交道特别成问题。儿童尚未发展出作出知情决定所必需的理性能力，与发育有关的可变性和变化会增加任何程序的风险和/或益处，并限制对数据的解释。因此，儿童神经影像学研究比成人少，进一步限制了该领域的一般知识。就在过去几年里，在收集健康儿童的规范数据集方面取得了重大进展。如何进行儿科神经影像学研究，同时确保参与者的伦理治疗的建议。(C)2002 Elsevier Science（美国）。All rights reserved.
Neuroimaging in pediatrics is accompanied by all the ethical dilemmas associated with neuroimaging in adults, magnified significantly. The defining characteristics of childhood make working ethically with the population particularly problematic. Children have not developed the rational capabilities necessary to make informed decisions and the variability and change associated with development contribute to heightened risks and/or benefits of any procedure and limit interpretation of data. As a consequence, fewer pediatric than adult neuroimaging research studies have been done, further limiting general knowledge of the field. Significant strides have been made just within the past few years with the collection of normative data sets of healthy children. Recommendations on how to proceed with pediatric neuroimaging studies while ensuring ethical treatment of the participants are presented. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
