6. INTRODUCTION TO RESEARCH IN
RADIOLOGY
Motivation for performing research
• What is research?
• Why is there a need for research?
• Types of research projects
• Integrity of research results
• Why be a good mentor?
7. WHAT IS RESEARCH?
• Research is a systematic, scientific
investigation in search of truth
10. NEED FOR RESEARCH
How does research benefit the clinical
radiologist?
• By protecting turf – Those who do the
research today perform the clinical
procedures of tomorrow
• By protecting useful procedures – Through
technology and outcome assessments
11. NEED FOR RESEARCH
How does funded research benefit the
academic radiologist?
• By career advancement – research
productivity becoming increasingly
important
• By providing release time, staff and
resources
• By providing financial independence to
those who produce inventions
12. HOW CAN YOU HELP?
• Consider an academic career with
emphasis on research
• Originate research projects
• Participate in research projects
• Be a facilitator not an obstructionist of
research projects
