Abstract:
The author of this paper gives an overview about the evolution of radiography education in Portugal and reflects about the importance of Radiographer-led research, especially in the field of radiation protection and its impact in clinical practice. It also pinpoints several aspects that contribute to the visibility and recognition of the role of radiographer both at national and European level, where the importance of the European Federation of Radiographers Societies is crucial. Radiographer led research is necessary and fundamental to develop the radiography profession field ok knowledge and to provide evidence to sustain the implementation and adoption of new clinical practices. Evidence shows that Radiographer-led research in the field of Radiation Protection contributes significantly to decrease patient and staff exposure to ionizing radiation, while maintaining the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
