Abstract

<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this article is to revisit the Hippocratic Oath, the oldest extant document of medical ethics, and refamiliarize ourselves with the foundation of our profession of radiology. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> Many radiologists have taken the Hippocratic Oath. However, for many, it has been years, even decades, since they last read it. At a time when the field of radiology is undergoing rapid changes, it is important for radiologists to ponder the ethical foundation of radiology.
