Core Tip	Clinical data management (CDM) is important for efficiently managing and completing a clinical trial. CDM is the process of controlling, processing, validating and querying data generated in a clinical study. In this paper, we developed a questionnaire identifying the main recurring obstacles in radiological clinical trials as perceived by end-users. We tried to define possible solutions that are mostly related to having dedicated clinical trial research staff. This topic is relatively well-known by clinicians, while it is less well-known by radiologists and could be useful for radiological centres that are currently involved or will be involved in conducting or participating in radiological clinical trials. For this reason, we suggested a problem-solving questionnaire and reported our experience in managing seven multi-centre national and international radiological clinical trials.
