AIM To develop a survey to help define the main problems in radiological clinical trials. METHODS Since 2006, we have managed seven different radiological clinical trials recruiting patients in academic and non-academic centres. We developed a preliminary questionnaire using a four-round Delphi approach to identify problems occurring in radiological clinical trials run at our centre. We investigated the recruitment experience, involvement of all multi-disciplinary team members and main obstacles to completing the projects. A final round of Delphi processes elucidated solutions to the identified problems.RESULTS Among 19/20(95%) respondents, 10(53%) were young physicians(under 35 years old), and the respondents included non-faculty members, fellows, residents, and undergraduate students. Ninety-four percent(18/19) of respondents showed interest in conducting clinical trials. On a scale of 1 to 10, the problems with higher/worse scores(8-9) were related to technical or communication problems. The most frequent problems across all studies were technical problems related to clinical trial equipment, insufficient willingness to participate, obstacles to understanding the design of electronic-case report form and extra work.CONCLUSION The developed questionnaire identified the main recurring problems in radiological clinical trials as perceived by endusers and helped define possible solutions that are mostly related to having dedicated clinical trial research staff.
