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.
放射影像学是健康科学中的一门新兴学科。它是一门研究医学影像学、放射治疗和核医学中现象的学科。它是从为这些服务提供研究证据的需求中发展而来的。该学科的领域需要澄清，应该更加关注其范式问题。在不同国家，放射影像学研究重点已经在国家层面上进行了规划，但观点是从专业需求出发，而不是从学科角度出发。本研究旨在确定该学科的重点。所选择的方法是两轮改良版德尔菲技术。专家小组由 24 名具有丰富专业经验的欧洲放射学研究人员组成。这项研究表明，放射影像学科学的研究重点与放射技师职业、临床实践以及安全和高质量地使用辐射和技术进行医学成像、放射治疗和核医学有关。确定这些重点可以帮助将研究集中在最重要的主题上，并阐明学科视角。
