MRI Research Proposals Involving Child Subjects: Concerns Hindering Research Ethics Boards from Approving Then and a Checklist to Help Evaluate Them

This paper bridges the gap between MR researchers attempting to further knowledge of children's medical needs and concerns and REBs that evaluate their research protocols. The main focus of this paper is to present the ethical concerns that tend to be of major concern for REBs when children are research subjects for MRI protocols. It then offers a pragmatic solution, a checklist, which may benefit both MR researchers in their planning of research protocols and REBs in their evaluation of such research from more common ground.
