“…Additional actions have been taken to describe radiography based on students' understanding of the concept. The study showed that students highlighted the humanistic aspects and the interdisciplinary nature of radiography and also the importance of patient-centred care and a caring environment (Lundgren et al, 2015).…”

“…There have been attempts in the past decade to describe and clarify radiography as a discipline and to explore the theoretical foundation of radiography (Ahonen, 2008;Lundgren & Furåker, 2014;Lundgren et al, 2015). What radiography means as a subject in radiographic programs was investigated by analysing programs' curricula and syllabi.…”

When investigating the general state of radiography, an allied health care education in Sweden, one possible starting point is to conduct a review of Bachelor theses from radiography education programmes. The nature and function of the thesis can have an academic or professional perspective or a combination of both. The review of the theses can give insight into both the current state and the future of radiography. The aim of this study was to explore the contemporary theoretical, topical and methodological trends in Bachelor theses in the field of radiography. An explorative design with a qualitative approach using content analysis was employed to determine the addressed theoretical framework, topics, research questions, and designs and methods used in Bachelor theses in radiography. The theoretical framework gave the impression of a discipline with a great deal of imported knowledge, showing a theoretical pluralism. The analysis of research questions yielded four topics: evidence based care, evidence behind imaging, work environment and additional minor trends. The research designs used, involve literature review of other research and interviews. The students use qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods, whereas quality content analysis holds an exceptional position for analysis. Academically oriented theses should focus on knowledge of the subject, and it can therefore be claimed that the analysis of Bachelor theses provides a window into the state of radiography and can thereby have an impact on the development of radiography as a discipline.

“…Early detection of critical ailments certainly will improve patient care. Although radiographers are trained in subjects such as human anatomy, physiology and pathology, [8][9][10][11] and in using safety protocols for imaging test procedures, 12 their evaluation of findings remains an informal activity. They are not trained to provide documentation for an evaluation.…”

The current study reduced the time lag between performing a diagnostic assessment and identifying a critical finding in CT and MRI exams through improving radiographers’ abilities to identify those critical findings. Radiographers’ diagnostic assessments in CT and MRI exams were used to develop a mobile training application with the aim to improve radiographers’ awareness of critical findings. The current research used data analytics to examine radiographers’ interpretation of imaging studies from a privately owned medical group in Israel. During the project, the radiographers’ ability to identify critical findings improved. Implementation of the mobile training program yielded positive results where the knowledge gap was reduced and time to identify critical cases was decreased. Specifically, this study showed that radiographers can be trained in ways that enhance their involvement with radiologists to provide high quality services and improve treatment Ultimately, this gives patients higher quality of care and safer treatment.

“…Radiography is an allied health science acting in the field of diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy. The knowledge base in radiography science is a combination of patient care and high technology and consists of medical imaging, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine (Lundgren et al, 2015). Research in radiography has a long history, but as a discipline of its own it is still evolving.…”

Radiography science is a new discipline among health sciences. It is a discipline that investigates phenomena in medical imaging, radiation therapy, and nuclear medicine. It has merged from the need to provide research evidence to support these services. The domain of the discipline needs clarification and more research should be focused on its paradigmatic issues. Radiography research priorities have been previously charted on a national level in different countries but the viewpoint has been that of the needs of the profession, not of the discipline. This study aimed to identify the priorities of the discipline. The method chosen was a modified version of the Delphi technique with two rounds. The expert panel consisted of 24 European radiography researchers with long professional experience. This study shows that the research priorities in radiography science are related to the phenomena of radiographers' profession, clinical practices, and the safe and high‐quality use of radiation and technology for medical imaging, radiotherapy, and nuclear medicine. Identifying these priorities can help focus research onto most important topics and clarify disciplinary perspective.
