Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The Physician Charter defines the obligations of professionalism as being based on three fundamental principles and 10 professional commitments. Choices faced in the daily clinical practice of radiology may present as challenges because of conflicts between the ideals of professionalism and the realities of practice and personal interests of the physician. CONCLUSION: The true medical professional strikes a mindful balance that realizes a stimulating and fulfilling practice of medicine without compromise of patient care.
