ABSTRACT

The field of radiology is a vital one in modern medicine. Many diagnostic tests and radiological treatments rely on ionizing radiation. Although scanning's benefits far exceed the risks of radioactivity, a growing concern has been expressed regarding the potential damage ionizing radiation may do to living things. This paper aims to answer the question, “Among non-radiology staff, where does non-radiology staff stand regarding radiation awareness?”My research question aims to look at radiation awareness among the non-radiology staff and the effects of radiation among the non-radiology staff. I will conduct a qualitative research study to help illustrate radiation awareness among the non-radiology staff. I will use qualitative approach for this study (Algohani et al., 2018). Interviews and questionnaires are used to get the data for this qualitative study. Using a range of survey forms and methods, researchers builds effective contact with participants while minimizing the risk of rejection or noncooperation. Semi-structured and fully structured questionnaires are both common forms of questionnaires. This study is expected to illustrate the level of knowledge of non-radiologists. Many researchers, including medical students, interns, and general practitioners, have engaged in research, and non-radiology personnel have not been addressed. Non-radiology staff members are at risk because they lack the necessary understanding. This study illustrates the high number of injury cases resulting from a lack of proper knowledge regarding ionizing radiation. The study will also indicate overall poor knowledge of radiation among members of this group. This study is significant because a more thorough understanding of how non-radiology staff misinterprets and fails to address patients' typical concerns during routine imaging procedures will be gained. Ionizing radiation may be used to sterilize medical devices, food, and insects, among other things. Therefore, this study will help illustrate how the full potential can be tapped without causing harm to the people and especially the non-radiology staff.
