Conclusion
Despite the general application of EBP by radiographers,
thanks to regular consultation of CT guidelines and decision-making processes based on literature review and scientific articles,
this group of professionals would benefit from further training.
Such approach would be well received and help the radiographers to enhance their knowledge and technical skills,
which would ultimatly result in an increase of the deparment’s quality.
The main conditioning factors for the application of the Evidence Based Practice in Radiology,
standing out in descending order were:
- The knowledge to transfer the results of the literature/scientific articles in daily practice of radiographers;
- Existence of legislation and regulations on practices;
- Knowledge about the concepts of EBP;
- Professional motivation;
- Knowledge of to analysis of data;
- Knowledge to elaborate a critical analysis of the literature/scientific articles and the capacity to apply the EBP in examiations for patients with specific clinical cases.
