Article Synopsis
- Radiographers in Nordic countries often depend on outdated training and departmental protocols instead of using current research, which highlights a need for better evidence-based practices in clinical settings.
- An online survey of 640 radiographers identified reflective practice and discussion with colleagues as key factors enhancing the use of research evidence, while difficulties in evaluating research emerged as a significant barrier.
- To effectively implement evidence-based practices, it's essential for radiographers to adopt a critical approach to their work, develop academic skills, and have strong leadership support that fosters a learning culture within their field.
Radiographers' role in justification of medical imaging examinations.
J Med Imaging Radiat Sci

Introduction: Justification is one of the fundamental principles in radiation protection and according to the ICRP, justification means that any decision that alters the radiation exposure situation should do more good than harm. The purpose of this study was to explore diagnostic radiographers' attitude towards their role in justification, and to assess the perceived need for justification discussions with peers and the ability to reject unjustified referrals during day, evening, and night shifts.
Methods: This study was conducted in Norway and Denmark.
Objectives: To compare vascular attenuation (VA) of an experimental half iodine-load dual-layer spectral detector CT (SDCT) lower limb computed tomography angiography (CTA) with control (standard iodine-load conventional 120-kilovolt peak (kVp) CTA).
Methods: Ethical approval and consent were obtained. In this parallel RCT, CTA examinations were randomized into experimental or control.
Facilitators for and barriers to radiography research in public healthcare in Nordic countries.
Radiography (Lond)
February 2022
Introduction: It has been suggested that the future of diagnostic imaging relies on engagement in research and evidence-based practice. This implies a role transition from a clinical radiographer to a clinical radiographer-researcher. Clinical radiographers' stimuli for engaging in research in Nordic countries are unknown.

This study sought to ascertain radiographers' opinions about radiography research and investigate their involvement in research activities in four Nordic countries.
Methods: This study was conducted in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden.
