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 do we now 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. The research topic will be answered using a qualitative approach

(Algohani et al., 2018). 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 this group members. 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.
