| Abstract | Neuroimaging research has brought major advances to child health and well-being. However, because of the vulnerabilities associated with neurological and developmental conditions, the parental need for hope, and the expectation of parents that new medical advances can benefit their child, pediatric neuroimaging research presents significant challenges to the general problem of consent in the context of research involving children. This article reviews the concept of therapeutic misconception and its role in pediatric neuroimaging research, and argues that this misconception can compromise consent given by parents for the involvement of their children in research of this kind. |
