Abstract

Aim The purpose of this article is to describe and discuss the development and challenges faced by radiography science as a new academic discipline. Background New academic disciplines develop continually from different circumstances and for different purposes. As they develop, they are faced with the challenge of justifying their status as independent academic disciplines in various ways. Radiography science is one of the youngest disciplines among health sciences in Finland, challenged by the academic community, society and clinical practice. Conclusions Radiography science in Finland has already shown considerable development and achieved many substantial and structural criteria set for independent academic disciplines. However, resources are still very limited and the profile of radiography science needs to be clarified. Challenges should be considered as inspirational opportunities and takeoff for the development of radiography science nationally and internationally.
