Surveys form an often critical part of a research project, and research underpins the high-quality care medical radiation practitioners (MRPs) deliver daily. ASMIRT is committed to supporting and strengthening the conduct of research amongst all MRPs.
Your responses to research survey are valuable to those not just at ASMIRT, but across the medical radiation sciences.
The following surveys and research project invitations are open:
Having access to safe, reliable and evidence-based nutritional information is incredibly important during the cancer journey . Researchers from the University of Newcastle want to hear from people living with and beyond cancer to better understand their needs and preferred ways to receive dietary advice and nutritional information and better understand the role of the radiation therapist in the provision of information. Ethics approval number is H-2025-0081.
We are seeking Medical Radiation Practitioners in Australia who are either currently practicing clinically or who have left clinical practice within the last 6 months to participate in a research study. The aim of the research study is to understand the factors that influence Australian medical radiation practitioners’ decisions to remain or leave the profession. The research study involves a short demographic survey and a 45-minute online interview.
If you think you might be interested in participating, please access the study via Qualtrics Survey | Qualtrics Experience Management
This has Monash University HREC number 48952
This study aims to explore the current practices, protocols, and challenges associated with infection and inflammation imaging in Australian nuclear medicine departments.
Participation is entirely voluntary, and all responses are anonymous. The survey has received ethics approval from Charles Sturt University (H25230) and is expected to take approximately 15 minutes to complete.
Are you a final-year student or recent graduate in medical imaging?
We’re inviting students and recent graduates (within the past 18 months) from radiography, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy programs across Australia to take part in a short online survey.
This study, led by researchers at Queensland University of Technology (QUT), explores how prepared new graduates feel to engage with Artificial Intelligence (AI) in clinical practice. We want to better understand:
• Your current confidence in using AI tools
• Ethical and professional responsibilities when working with AI
• How well your training has prepared you for AI-integrated healthcare
⏱ Time commitment: 10–15 minutes
Ethics approval: QUT Human Research Ethics Committee (Ref: 9642)
Your participation is anonymous and voluntary, and your feedback will help shape the future of undergraduate training to better support AI-readiness in our profession.
This survey aims to elicit health professionals’ cultural training experience including educational strategies, concepts and topics; their perceived needs and barriers for future education; and how they currently support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who are receiving radiation therapy.

The aim of this survey is to analyse Australian radiographers’ and radiography students’ understanding of physical and sexual abuse in paediatric patients, current reporting laws in child safeguarding and any past experiences reporting these cases. (Monash ethics approval: 4696)
Take part in the Research Capacity and Culture (RCC) Survey and share your insights on research in radiography. The RCC Survey is a validated tool designed to explore radiographers' experiences, attitudes, and opportunities in research.
Your feedback will provide valuable insights into the barriers and facilitators of research engagement in radiography. This has Monash ethics #45825
The research group at Monash University is seeking to capture a snapshot of adaptive radiation therapy practice in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. The survey is designed for radiation therapists, radiation oncology medical physicists and radiation oncologists and should take approximately 20 mins to complete. Participation is entirely voluntary, and all responses will be anonymised. Ethics study 46404
Invitation to participate in a research project: Evaluation of Medical Radiation Undergraduates’ Clinical Experiences with Challenging Interactions.The study seeks to explore the effects of these interactions on students’ professional capability development and how these could be managed for a successful clinical placement. Medical radiation clinical practitioners across the three specialisations (MI, RT, and NM) are invited to participate in a 20-30-minute online semi-structured interview at your convenience. Kindly contact Jacob Ago via email: s4065685@student.rmit.edu.au for further information about the study.
Do you experience ‘Scanxiety’? We are seeking adults from remote, rural and regional Australia who experience anxiety as part of their cancer journey when undergoing surveillance imaging (such as x-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT and nuclear medicine) to take part in a mixed method research study to better understand and evaluate scan related anxiety.
The Australia Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT) encourages and supports relevant research to improve patient outcomes.
