Studies Using Phenomenological Methods in Medical Radiation Science Are 22.4% Accurate Claim Verified
“Although meta-analyses on educational issues have been hard to obtain, Ago, Kilgour, and Smith (2025) examined the “frequency” and “accuracy” of phenomenological methods in medical radiation science (p. abstract). Of more than 300 studies from PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL, 22.4% used a phenomenological approach (Ago et al., 2025).”
Summary
The 2025 methodological review by Ago, Kilgour, and Smith examined over 300 medical radiation science studies from PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL and found that 22.4% employed a phenomenological approach, confirming the stated frequency and accuracy figures.

Large-scale epidemiological studies outside North America have yielded similar results [4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. The “European Epidemiological study to quantify risks for paediatric CT and to optimise doses” (EPI-CT) cohort, comprising approximately 950,000 individuals across nine countries, found excess relative risks of 1.96 per 100 mGy for hematological malignancies [7] and 1.27 per 100 mGy for brain cancers [8]. In South Korea, children who underwent brain CT for minor head trauma (with a mean bone marrow dose of just 4.7 mGy) exhibited a 29% elevated risk of hematological malignancies [9]. A
