Abstract

A valid necessity for performing a radiographic examination in the radiological department is presented here. The study aims to educate radiographers on medical diagnostic imaging and technologies. These days, X-rays and many other advanced ionizing radiation-based diagnostic technologies are utilized daily and are believed to be the best ways to diagnose various diseases and ailments. Their understanding of radiation safety is, therefore, crucial. Since the general public is unaware of the negative effects of ionizing radiation exposure, medical professionals who work directly with patients must take the necessary precautions to safeguard both themselves and the public. This qualitative observational study was conducted in the Department of Radiodiagnosis, SGT Hospital, and Gurugram, where a minimum of 8 radiographers were taken in this study, in which both male and female radiographers were included from 2021 to 2023 and will demonstrate how radiographers behave in the workplace. Study data was received from the Department of Radiodiagnosis, SGT Hospital, Gurugram, where all the radiography was carried out. Both male and female radiographers were included during the study and observed on their communication skills, attitude, and behavior towards patients during heavy and low patient loads following the ALARA principle. Only 50% of radiographers were aware of the ALARA principle. As a result, individuals are more likely to experience an ionizing radiation-related problem. To keep up a high level of radiation protection, hospital management should be concerned with regular training programs that will help their personal development.
