Abstract: Background A basic ethical and legal necessity for medical practice is informed consent. However, because pediatric radiology involves minors and involves complicated radiographic treatments, gaining informed permission offers special obstacles. The purpose of this review is to examine these issues and provide possible fixes to enhance the informed consent procedure in pediatric radiography. Methods A thorough search of the literature was carried out using a number of databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. We found and examined pertinent studies that addressed the problems and solutions around informed consent in pediatric radiography. Peer-reviewed journals publishing studies on informed consent, pediatric radiology, and related ethical issues met the inclusion criteria. Extracted and synthesized data were used to find recurring trends and offer remedies. Results Several major obstacles to obtaining informed consent in pediatric radiology were identified by the review, including children's cognitive and emotional development, parents' anxiety and ability to make decisions, the complexity of radiological procedures, and differing legal and ethical considerations. Various solutions were suggested, including enhanced parental support, developmentally appropriate communication strategies, improved consent procedures, healthcare professionals' ethical training, standardized guidelines, decision aids, and the involvement of multidisciplinary teams. Conclusion A comprehensive strategy is needed to address the informed consent issues in pediatric radiography. Healthcare practitioners can enhance the standardization of consent procedures, give effective parental support, employ customized communication tactics, and guarantee thorough ethical education in order to raise the level and efficacy of informed consent. By taking these steps, pediatric radiologists can improve the overall quality of care while simultaneously upholding ethical norms and guaranteeing that children and their families receive the necessary information and assistance throughout medical procedures.
