What are the four core human rights values related to disability?

• A. Autonomy, dignity, equality, and solidarity
• B. Freedom, security, privacy, and wealth
• C. Independence, strength, loyalty, and honor
• D. Fairness, efficiency, accountability, and transparency

Answer: (A)

Autonomy, dignity, equality, and solidarity underpin how we think about rights for people with disabilities. Autonomy means individuals control their own lives and decisions, which in medical imaging translates to informed consent and the choice to accept or refuse procedures. Dignity ensures every person is treated with inherent worth, guiding respectful, private, and non-paternalistic care. Equality requires equal rights and access, so disability does not become a barrier to receiving imaging services or accommodations. Solidarity highlights society’s collective responsibility to remove barriers and provide support so people with disabilities can participate fully.

The other options mix concepts like wealth, loyalty, or governance traits that don’t capture these fundamental human rights values tied to disability.
