[Radiology--an exciting specialty, unsatisfactory training situation?].
Despite the medical and technological advances during the last decade, there have been problems in attracting new recruits for radiology specialization in Norway. The increasing number of vacancies is a cause for concern. To address this problem, we held interviews with six residents--three males and three females aged between 30 and 39 years. They had from four months to three years of experience in diagnostic radiology at the time of the study. The data were analyzed according to the principles of Giorgi. The participants found radiology both interesting and challenging, but considered the specialist training inadequate, mainly because there were too many routine tasks and not enough supervision.
