literature on radiology residency in Nigeria is sparse, even for decades after its commencement. There is therefore the need to inquire into the problems and prospects of the programme, at least from the perspectives of the residents.
to determine residents' perception of the radiology residency programme, residents' view on state of facilities, and their opinion on the future of radiology training in Nigeria.
Self-administered semi-structured questionnaires, were given to residents to complete. Contacts were made with residents during update courses and radiologists' conferences or meetings.
one hundred and twenty-five questionnaires were given out and 120 were completed and returned, giving a response rate of 96 %. Fifty-eight (48%) respondents mentioned academic interest as the major influencing factor for enrolling into the programme. Only 20 (16%) residents had made up their minds to do radiology residency as medical students. All the residents identified conventional radiography and ultrasound as the only regularly functioning modalities in their centres, while 72 (60%) respondents mentioned same for cross sectional imaging modalities; that is CT and MRI. One hundred and ten (90%) respondents had rotation through available modalities as the plank of their training programmes, and 96 (80%) did not feel happy about the state of teaching aids at their centres. Ninety-six (80%) of the residents expressed satisfaction at the efforts of the supervisory postgraduate medical colleges at organising update courses. Eighty respondents (65%) mentioned limited (or lack of) exposure to modern imaging modalities as the greatest threat to the future of radiology residency in Nigeria.
nigerian radiology residents are concerned about lack of modern imaging tools, facilities at their centres, as well as opportunities for exposure overseas, and the likely impact of these on their training and the future of the specialty in Nigeria.
尼日利亚放射科住院医师培训的相关文献稀少，即便在该项目启动后的数十年间亦是如此。因此，有必要至少从住院医师的角度探究该项目的问题与前景。
确定住院医师对放射科住院医师培训项目的看法、对设施状况的观点，以及他们对尼日利亚放射学培训未来的意见。
向住院医师发放自行填写的半结构化问卷。在进修课程以及放射科医师会议期间与住院医师取得联系。
共发放125份问卷，120份完成并回收，回复率为96%。58名（48%）受访者提到学术兴趣是报名参加该项目的主要影响因素。仅有20名（16%）住院医师在医学院学生时期就已决定从事放射科住院医师工作。所有住院医师都将传统放射成像和超声确定为其所在中心仅有的正常运行的检查方式，而72名（60%）受访者提到CT和MRI等断层成像检查方式亦是如此。110名（90%）受访者将通过现有检查方式轮转作为其培训计划的核心内容，96名（80%）受访者对其所在中心教学辅助工具的状况不满意。96名（80%）住院医师对研究生医学教育学院组织进修课程所做的努力表示满意。80名（65%）受访者提到接触现代成像检查方式受限（或缺乏）是尼日利亚放射科住院医师培训未来面临的最大威胁。
尼日利亚放射科住院医师担心缺乏现代成像工具、所在中心的设施，以及海外交流机会，以及这些因素可能对他们的培训以及尼日利亚该专业未来产生的影响。
