Beliefs and behaviors of radiographers concerning “Digital Chest Radiography”
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Aims Chest radiography is the first choice for the investigation of cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Radiographer technologists are responsible for managing the radiation exposure to patients and providing adequate image quality according to the ALARA concept. The knowledge and experience of radiographers in performing chest radiography helps to improve the diagnosis of diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the beliefs and behaviors of Radiographers on digital chest radiography in medical imaging departments. Participants & Methods For conducting the knowledge of radiographers, a descriptive questionnaire-based study was carried out on 65 radiographers and for assessing the practice of radiographers each radiography was analyzed by two experienced radiologists and researchers according to the checklist. By implementing the checklist, 390 digital chest radiographs were assessed during and after each procedure to evaluate the practice of radiographers. Findings The mean values of the radiographers’ knowledge and practice were 85.48 and 78.79 (out of 100), respectively. 5.38% of digital chest radiography (21 of 390) led to repetition. Conclusion Radiographers should be properly trained on digital chest radiography for reducing the patient radiation dose and improve image quality and radiological interpretation.

Background: The radiation doses resulting from diagnostic X-ray examinations are routinely measured in terms of entrance surface dose (ESD) and effective dose (ED). In this study, for the purpose of radiation protection, the radiation doses received from Digital chest X-ray examination were evaluated in terms of ESD and ED. Material and Methods: The ED was calculated by using the MCNP ...
