MD PhD programmes with relevance to imaging. Results from a European survey.
Article in Insights into imaging, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundScientific research is an important part of radiology. PhDs for MDs are becoming increasingly important for an academic career. Developments in training for young radiologists show that the interest in completing a PhD programme with a focus on imaging is significantly increasing.
methodsIt can be assumed that PhDs of relevance to imaging provide excellent training for later scientific work during radiology residency. To evaluate the situation for the availability of PhD programmes with relevance to imaging, a European survey was performed. In total, 100 universities and institutions from 24 European countries responded.
resultsIn 50.5 % of the responses the universities/institutions offer imaging-related PhD programmes. In 25.6 % of responses radiology departments run their own PhD programme. With regard to handling PhD and radiology training, the most common response was that a PhD is allowed in parallel to radiology training (38.9 %), should be completed partly (15.3 %) and must be completed first (8.3 %). The most common responses for the duration of PhD programmes were 3 years and 4 years (27.8 % each).
conclusionIn conclusion, the survey has shown that imaging-related PhD programmes are available for radiologists and that radiology departments should be encouraged and supported to develop their own PhD programmes. Finally, this survey may be the first step to develop an online database comprising all these PhD programmes throughout Europe, allowing easy access to this information. MAIN MESSAGES: • PhD programmes with relevance to imaging are becoming increasingly important for young radiologists. • In Europe about half of the universities/institutions offer imaging-related PhD programmes; about a quarter of radiology departments run their own PhD programme. • Where radiology departments have the appropriate facilities and staff they should be encouraged and supported to develop their own PhD programme. • An online database comprising PhD programmes worldwide would be a useful tool for radiologists, allowing for easy access to this information. • PhD programmes are a valuable asset not only for clinicians, but also for universities, institutions and individual radiology programmes alike.
