Objective  To investigate the improvement of professional and research abilities of medical imaging technology trainees after completing their training, and to provide reference for a clinical and research-oriented training model. Methods  Medical imaging technology trainees who pursuedfurther training in the Department of Radiology at West China Hospital of Sichuan University between March 2020 and February 2024 were enrolled. Data were collected through targeted questionnaires, covering personal information, training process, and post-training outcomes upon returning to their home institutions. Results  A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed, and 128 were returned. The survey results showed that trainees who successfully implemented new technologies were more likely to have held administrative positions prior to training compared to those who did not (34.7% vs. 15.1%; P=0.023). Trainees who trained for 6 months were more likely to participate in publications compared to those who trained for 3 months [odds ratio=4.77, 95% confidence interval (1.27, 17.96), P=0.021]. Conclusion  The clinical and research training system enables imaging technologists to better implement new technologies and improve research abilities upon returning to their home institutions.
