[Informing angiography patients. Results of a survey and critical comments]

100 patients subjected to angiography have been interviewed about their knowledge of the previous diagnostic procedure. The group having cerebral angiography keeps more details and risks in mind than a group having an angiography of the limbs. No patient regards the informed consent as an unnecessary affair and the majority expects to be examined by the informing physician. The radiologist therefore has the opportunity to establish a trustful relationship to the patient and to master his roll as a physician.
