Abstract:
Objectives. To assess the level of dental radiographers’ compliance with infection control measures and to evaluate the factors affecting their compliance. Methods. The study included 175 dental radiographers. Compliance with infection control was evaluated with a self-administered questionnaire consisting of 33 questions related to vaccination, hand hygiene (HH), personal protective equipment (PPE), disinfection and sterilization, and use of surface barriers. Pearson’s chi-square test was used to compare compliance between subgroups of radiographers. Results. 64.6% of participants were females, and 62.9% was younger than 30 years. 13.0% of the sample population had >10 years of experience and 28.0% take radiographs for >20 patients/day. 66.9% of participants wash their hands before/after taking radiographs. 26.3% of participants had vaccination against hepatitis B, tetanus, and tuberculosis. 12.6% fully use PPE, 10.9% perform complete disinfection and sterilization, and 16.0% apply all kinds of surfaces barriers. Vaccination was significantly affected by age, gender, and practice type. HH was affected by years of experience and number of patients radiographed per day. PPE was influenced by number of hours worked per week and patients radiographed daily. Disinfection and sterilization was affected by practice type and years of experience. The use of surface barriers was affected by age, practice type, and number of patients radiographed/day. Conclusions. The current study indicated poor compliance with infection control practices among dental radiographers. We recommend continuing educational programs and training courses to increase dental radiographers’ awareness of local and international infection control guidelines and to enhance their implementation of these guidelines.

Abstract:
Technology has changed the world of radiography, setting the request for development and promotion of radiography occupation. This article focuses on key factors of education for radiologic technologist / radiographer. The important role of EFRS in promoting and developing advanced educational standards and qualifications for radiographers is elaborated. Harmonization and development of radiographer’s profession following technological development considers cooperation among educational institutions, employers and professional bodies, within the framework of European and national legislation. Society should provide the conditions for further education. Obtaining a master's and / or doctoral degree, and integration in teaching and research activities, helps transform radiographers into leadership roles within their departments.

Abstract:
Background: Hospitals in Pasuruan and Sidoarjo are Covid-19 referral hospitals that are very at risk of occupational infections for officers. Radiographer are workers who have more direct contact with patients, therefore nurses must apply the use of Personal Protective Equipment (APD) following the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). The purpose of the study was to analyze the influence of health determinants (supervision, self-efficacy, and work culture) on compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (radiation protection) for radiographers in the Pasuruan and Sidoarjo regions.Methods: Design observational research with a cross-sectional approach. The population of all radiographers in the Pasuruan and Sidoarjo is 100 people. Sampled all 100 radiographers with total sampling techniques. Independent variables of supervision, self-efficacy, and work culture. Variable dependent compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (radiation protection) for radiographers.Results: The results showed there was an influence of radiographer surveillance patterns on compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (radiation protection) for radiographers (p-value 0.000), there was an effect of radiographer self-efficacy on compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (radiation protection) for radiographers (p-value 0.000), there was the influence of radiographer work culture on compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (radiation protection) for radiographers (p-value 0.000).Conclusions: Supervision, self-efficacy, and work culture are among the factors that significantly influence radiographer adherence to the use of PPE. The hope is that by having a good knowledge of K3, nurses will be more obedient to protection as prevention of infection transmission.

Abstract:
A number of Radiotherapy Departments have extended the working day on linear accelerators, as a method of increasing treatment capacity. However, reports from the Royal College of Radiologists predict a rate of increase in requirements for radiotherapy, significantly in excess of the rate at which radiographers will become available to run the necessary equipment.Based on the premise that radiographers are the most difficult staff group to recruit, a number of different patterns of radiotherapy linear accelerator use has been investigated, with an aim of seeing which delivers the greatest return on radiographer time. The requirement for radiographers per linac-hour has been examined for a number of lengths of day and utilising various staffing assumptions.Given current patterns of work, the greatest manpower efficiency in use of trained radiographers is achieved if machines are run for a 7-h-day or for an 8-h-day if part-time radiographers are available. This working pattern relies on all ancillary tasks being removed from the treatment unit, many of which can be performed by other appropriately trained, non-radiographer, staff groups.With linac-hour demand projected to rise faster than the rate at which new trained radiographers become available, extended working days are not sustainable without significant change to current work patterns.

Abstract:
Background: Until now, Indonesia has become one of the countries with the highest health worker death rate in ASIA and the 3rd highest in the world due to exposure to COVID-19, reaching 647 people. Radiographers are one of the first lines of health professionals who are very likely to be exposed to COVID-19. The purpose of the study is to find out the adaptation of new radiographer habits during the COVID-19 pandemic including radiographer work experience, radiographer health conditions (including fisk and mental health) and radiographer resilience in pandemic times.Methods: Research design uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological types of research. The selection of informants is obtained from observations and interviews to radiographers. The study used purposive sampling techniques. Research instruments use observation sheets, interview guidelines and documentation study sheets. This research was conducted in the Radiology Unit at COVID-19 referral hospitals, public hospitals and private hospitals, around the city area of Surabaya, east Java. The data collection time is expected to be held in April - June 2021.Results: The results showed the work experience of radiographers before the pandemic period was very different from the experience during the pandemic. Radiographers experienced more convenience when working in the time before the pandemic. Much of the change lies in the use of personal protective equipment. The majority of respondents had high optimism about their health condition as well as a great sense of responsibility in caring for patients suspected of Covid-19. The majority of respondents continue to carry out the obligation to treat patients suspected of Covid-19 or who are confirmed positive for Covid-19 because it is an obligation for every radiographer. These differences include restrictions on the number of radiographers in the room, the use of PPE at level 3, and the screening process that must be done before examining patients.Conclusions: The role of radiographers is very important in carrying out radiological examinations, especially in pandemic times. Radiographers who are competent and comply with the SOP during the pandemic so as to minimize exposure to Covid 19.

Abstract:
The red dot system uses expertise in the identification of anomalies to assist radiologists in distinguishing radiological abnormalities and managing them before the radiologist report is sent. This is a small step on the road to greater role development for radiographers. This practice has existed for more than 20 years in the UK. Today, it is only the UK seeking to legislate radiographer reports. The aim of this paper is to put focus on this issue, determine whether radiographer reports are necessary, and explore whether there are any benefits that can be highlighted to encourage health authorities worldwide to allow radiographers to write clinical reports. Additionally, this study was conducted to evaluate the role of radiographers (non-radiologists) in medical image interpretation, using 95 samples that were collected randomly and a representative sample of radiographers and radiologists of both genders. The SPSS program was used for the statistical analysis of the samples and to scientifically explain the results. We found that radiologists have no objections to the participation of radiographers in diagnosis assistance, interpretation, and clinical reporting through the red dot system. Therefore, there was support for the future implementation of such a system in health care.

Abstract:
Objectives— To assess the efficacy of dual film reading in screening mammography with a suitably trained radiographer as the second reader and to determine a suitable decision model for radiographer/radiologist double reading. Setting— Three breast screening centres in South Thames (West) region. Methods— Seven radiographers with prior film reading training double read 17 202 screening mammograms with a radiologist. Screening performance of radiographers and radiologists was assessed taking into account interval cancers. The efficacy of radiographer/radiologist double reading was assessed in terms of changes in sensitivity and specificity compared with radiologist single reading. Results— Radiographers yielded equivalent sensitivity but lower specificity than radiologist film readers. The effect of double reading between radiographer/radiologist pairs was an increase in sensitivity of 6.4%, which was achieved at the cost of a 0.6% decrease in specificity. This was reached by a decision system involving radiologists' review of radiographer queries and recall classifications. If all radiographer queries were recalled a large increase in sensitivity would be counterbalanced by an equally large decrease in specificity. Conclusions— Radiographer/radiologist double reading resulted in similar increases in sensitivity as those previously reported in radiologist double reading studies. Radiologist review of radiographer reported abnormalities is a suitable means by which to limit excess recall.

Abstract:
Background : In order to maintain clinical governance in the radiology installation, it is necessary to do the radiographer’s credential program as it serves to collect, Verify and evaluate educational licenses, training, competence, And experience of existing health workers. Credentials are an evaluation process by the hospital of a health worker to determine whether the person concerned is worthy of a clinical assignment and clinical authority to carry out certain medical care/actions within the hospital environment for a certain period.Purpose : To analyze the perceptions of radiographers and relevant policy makers, about the process of implementing the credential program for the radiographer profession, especially in RSUD Sleman.Methods : Methods of data collection through in-depth interviews with radiographers and policy makers, And documentary studies related to the radiographer’s credential program in hospitals. For the result of the research, the radiographer’s credential were analyzed using qualitative methods. The location is in Sleman hospital, Yogyakarta.Results : From the analysis of the radiographer’s perception of the credential program, it was found that the implementation of the radiographer’s credentials at the Sleman Hospital was in accordance with the existing mechanism.Conclusion : From the research result, it can be concluded that the implementation of credentials at the Sleman Hospital has been carried out independently, but the implementation of the radiographer’s credentials program independently needs to be evaluated regarding the implementation mechanism. Because the credential program is only limited to the administrative aspect (portfolio), This is still less than ideal and objective, Considering the increasingly complex services available in radiology installations. More competency assessment methods are needed to maintain accountability and competence of health workers in order to ensure that patients get safe and quality health services.

Abstract Background Despite the publication of a national patient safety alert in 2016, inadvertent feeding through misplaced nasogastric tubes continues to occur, either through failure to review the radiograph, misinterpretation of it, or failure to communicate the results. Objective The objectives were to determine whether training in a new pathway introduced to avoid these “never events” was followed and whether radiographer comments and prompt communication of results could reduce risk and improve patient safety in relation to nasogastric tube placement in children. Materials and methods Following radiographer training in interpretation of nasogastric tube position and use of a commenting proforma and communication pathway, we reviewed all radiographs obtained to check nasogastric tubes performed over a 13-month period in children 0–16 years of age. Then we assessed accuracy of the radiographer comments, adherence to the pathway, and any practice change in children with misplaced nasogastric tubes. Results We reviewed 282 nasogastric tube check radiographs. For 262 radiographs (92.9%) the pathway was followed correctly. Of the total 282 radiographs, 240 (85%) were immediately reported using the standardised commenting proforma, and 235 radiographer comments were affirmed by the radiologist (97% accuracy, confidence interval 0.95–0.99). Of the immediately reported radiographs, 213 (88.8%) nasogastric tubes were considered to be safe for use. Four (1.7%) of the immediately reported nasogastric tubes were misplaced in a bronchus, and the report communicated to the clinical team resulted in removal or re-siting of the tubes. Conclusion Nasogastric tube check radiographs in children can be reported accurately by radiographers trained in their interpretation and the results promptly communicated to clinical staff, improving safety in relation to nasogastric tube placement in children.

Abstract:
This study aimed to evaluate the COVID-19 pandemic impact on radiography and radiotherapy practice in Malaysia. An online cross-sectional survey was conducted from July to October 2020 among radiographers. The questionnaire was adapted from the previous study. A total of 214 (female, n=148 and male, n=66) responses were received comprising 79.9% diagnostic and 20.1% therapeutic radiographers across Malaysia. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Version 25.0. The results show that 71% agree that the radiographers are part of the major frontline and 50.9% agree diagnostic radiographer’s workload increases. Besides, 77.1% and 71.9% of them are very aware of the COVID-19 virus transmission and infection control principle, respectively. Furthermore, 59.8% stated that adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) was provided by the department while 57% receive adequate training in handling patients during the pandemic. There were 66.5% and 28.6% of diagnostic radiographers and therapeutics radiographers who receive specific training in facing COVID-19 patients. During the pandemic, only 29% feel frequently stressed about work and 62.1% sometimes. The significant association c2 (p=0.0002) exists between radiographers and the perception of stress. Most of the radiographers rate their level of stress between 5 to 8 on a scale of 1 (no stress) to 10 (highly stress). In conclusion, increasing workload during the pandemic increase the level of stress among radiographers. However, adequate PPE, a good work rotation schedule, and training will help them facing the pandemic.

Abstract:
The general aim of this thesis was to empirically describe the radiographers’ professional scope in diagnostic imaging from the viewpoint of the practitioners and investigate how technical development affects the relations and actions in this practice. Data was collected by interviews and observations to both studies at the same time with two different aims. Eight radiographers (n=8) were interviewed. The interviews were open in character, were recorded with a digital voice recorder, and transcribed verbatim by the interviewer. The interview guide consisted of four interview questions. The observations of radiographers during their work with Computer Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) were conducted in a middle-sized radiology department in the southern part of Sweden. The observations were ten (n=10) in total. Two different theoretical perspectives were used: phenomenology (Study I) and practice theory perspective (Study II). Data was analysed with a phenomenological method in Study I. In Study II data was firstly analysed inductively, which resulted in seven codes. Secondly, abduction was made by interpretation of these codes from a practice theory perspective. This led to four themes. The findings in Study I display the main aspect of the radiographers’ work with image production. Their general tasks and responsibilities can be viewed as a process with the goal of producing images that can be used for diagnosis purposes. The process has three different phases: planning the examination, production of images, and evaluation of the image quality. The radiographers experience the production of images as their autonomous professional area. The findings in Study II report how technology development affects the relations between different actors and their actions in the practice of Computer Tomography. Four themes were identified; 1) Changed materiality makes the practical action easier. Radiographers’ practica work with image production has become easier when working with CT  compared to conventional techniques because the CT usually performs the image production in one scan. 2) Changed machines cause conflict between the arrangements of the work and the patients` needs. It is difficult to plan the examination individually for each patient because of the arrangements of the CT practice, i.e. they have little information about the patient before the examination. 3) Changing materiality prefigures learning. The radiographers describe a need for constant learning activities because of the changing procedures for image production and new modalities for image production. If not achieved it may affect their relations with the patients. 4) How the connections between different practices lead to times when practical reasoning is required in the radiography process with CT. The connections between the different professions in CT practice mainly occur through material arrangements because physically they work in different areas. The external arrangements in CT practice pre-figure actions for securing accurate radiation level and image quality. But the radiographers, who meet the patients, have to critically judge the intended actions in relation to clinical observed data to ensure patient safety.

Abstract:
The structure of the health system in Oman has developed at a rapid pace, such that some facilities are now comparable with those of developed countries. Radiology departments have largely developed from small units to large ones, housed in modern and state-of-the-art departments with modern radiographic imaging modality services and up-to-date technologies. The radiography services in hospitals have expanded to include advanced imaging modalities such as Magnetic Imaging Resonances (MRI), Radionuclide Imaging (RNI), cardiovascular imaging, Radiotherapy, Cardiac CT, Oncology CT, Radiology Information system (RIS) and Picture Archiving Communication Systems (PACS). The delivery of the best quality of radiography services is hindered, however, by the MoH being the main agency in the health care system that issue regulations and policies. In addition, Omani radiographers function outside of any professional regulations. This study is therefore undertaken to explore the lived experience of the professional socialisation of Omani radiographers. Through exploring the radiographers’ lived experience in constructing their professional identity, describing the process of constructing thier professional role identity, and understanding how professional socialisation affects professional commitment. The study involved interviews with 19 radiographers and analysis of contextual material. The interviews were conducted face-to-face, in Arabic, using a phenomenological approach. The data from the translated transcripts were managed and coded using Nvivo 10 software. A thematic analysis approach was adopted to analyse the data. The analysis of the data revealed three main categories: Omani radiography practice in context, radiography culture and working life in Oman, and the professional identity of Omani radiographers. The outcomes of the study of the Omani radiographers’ lived experience revealed ineffective systems and regulations, an absence of structures to guide and support radiographers in their professional development, a poorly defined culture, and inconsistent leadership and management in radiography departments. In conclusion, the findings disclosed a complex and negative socialisation process that undermines Omani radiographers’ attempts to be recognised as professionals.

This thesis evaluated the accuracy of radiographers screen-reading mammograms. This was undertaken as a potential solution to current radiologist workforce shortages that may contribute to delays in women receiving their screening mammogram results. This large, well-designed Australian study undertook extensive analysis and imparts evidence that even prior to any formal reading training, radiographers have good accuracy levels when screen-reading mammograms. It is expected that with formal screen-reading training these accuracy levels will further improve, such that radiographers have the potential to be one of the two screen-readers within the BreastScreen Australia program, contributing to timeliness and improved accuracy outcomes.

Abstract:
Failure to correctly diagnose fractures on x-rays is an important problem in hospital emergency departments. This thesis included the first randomised controlled trial comparing the effectiveness of intensive and non-intensive formats of delivery of x-ray interpretation education for radiographers. The education was designed to improve the ability of radiographers to detect and describe abnormalities visualised on trauma radiographs. Findings suggest that the intensive format of delivery was more effective, although participants in both trial arms demonstrated improvement. These findings have relevance for healthcare and education providers who are seeking to improve radiographers' image interpretation in emergency settings.

Abstract:
Aims: The overall aim of this thesis was to explore and describe radiographers‟ professional competence based on patients‟ and radiographers‟ experiences and to develop a context-specific instrument to assess the level and frequency of use of radiographers‟ professional competence. Methods: The design was inductive and deductive. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used. The data collection methods comprised interviews (Studies I-II) and questionnaires (Studies III-IV). The subjects were patients in study I and radiographers in studies II-IV. In study I, 17 patients were interviewed about their experiences of the encounter during radiographic examinations and treatment. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis. In study II, 14 radiographers were interviewed to identify radiographers‟ areas of competence. The critical incident technique was chosen to analyse the interviews. Studies III and IV were based on a national cross-sectional survey of 406 randomly selected radiographers. Study III consisted of two phases; designing the Radiographer Competence Scale (RCS) and evaluation of its psychometric properties. A 42-item questionnaire was developed and validated by a pilot test (n=16) resulting in the addition of 12 items. Thus the final RCS comprised a 54-item questionnaire, which after psychometric tests was reduced to 28 items. In study IV, the 28-item questionnaire served as data. The level of competencies was rated on a 10-point scale, while their use was rated on a six-point scale. Results: In study I, the female patients‟ comprehensive understanding was expressed as feelings of vulnerability. The encounters were described as empowering, empathetic, mechanical and neglectful, depending on the radiographers‟ skills and attitudes. Study II revealed two main areas of professional competence, direct patient-related and indirect patient-related. The first focused on competencies in the care provided in close proximity to the patient and the second on competencies used in the activities of the surrounding environment. Each of the two main areas was divided into four categories and 31 sub-categories that either facilitated or hindered good nursing care. In study III the analysis condensed the 54-item questionnaire in two steps, firstly by removing 12 items and secondly a further 14 items, resulting in the final 28-item RCS questionnaire. Several factor analyses were performed and a two factor-solution emerged, labelled; “Nurse initiated care” and “Technical and radiographic processes”. The psychometric tests had good construct validity and homogeneity. The result of study IV demonstrated that most competencies in the RCS received high ratings both in terms of level and frequency of use. Competencies e.g. „Adequately informing the patient‟, „Adapting the examination to the patient‟s prerequisites and needs‟ and „Producing accurate and correct images‟ were rated the highest while „Identifying and encountering the patient in a state of shock‟ and „Participating in quality improvement regarding patient safety and care‟ received the lowest ratings. The total score of each of the two dimensions had a low but significant correlation with age and years in present position. The competence level correlated with age and years in present position in both dimensions but not with the use of competencies in the “Nurse initiated care” dimension. Conclusion: This thesis has shown that professional competence is important in the encounter between patient and radiographer. It has also demonstrated that radiographers‟ self-rated professional competence is based on nursing, technological and radiographic knowledge. From a radiographer‟s perspective, „Nurse initiated care‟ and „Technical and Radiographic processes‟ are two core dimensions of Radiographer Competence Scale. The 28-item questionnaire regarding level and frequency of use of competence is feasible to use to measure radiographers‟ professional competence.

Radiographers need to know how to react appropriately when a patient has a medical emergency; this is not only essential but lifesaving. This reaction stems from a theoretical framework that guides an automotive sense of knowing what to do and how to assist. Having the correct equipment completes this circle. The objectives of this study was to evaluate the responses of Bloemfontein radiographers in emergency situations based on the awareness of their role in emergency procedures and their role in the application of pharmaceuticals and equipment on the emergency trolley. A checklist compiled from literature was used to evaluate the state of emergency trolleys at four hospitals in Bloemfontein through impromptu visits. A questionnaire was used to determine the preparedness of radiographers for common medical emergencies. The currency of their first aid training was also established. The study results showed that 50% of the emergency trolleys' content conformed to guidelines in literature; the other trolleys contained expired medicine. Forty-five percent of the radiographers in the sample did not know how to assist effectively when using an emergency trolley. Of the participants 73.5% would respond according to protocol in emergency situations. Fifty-three percent of the radiographers in the study did not have valid first aid certificates. This study showed that though most participating radiographers would respond to emergency situations according to protocol, certain aspects of their response have shortcomings. Additionally the availability of equipment and medication is cause for concern.

This study explores the expectations and experiences of newly qualified diagnostic radiographers during their transition into practice. This is a short, but important period in a professional’s career as he or she adjusts from being supervised to becoming an autonomous practitioner. It is during this period that they enhance their competence and confidence. This was a longitudinal study using interpretative phenomenological analysis methodology. Data was gathered from four students who participated in a focus group. This informed semi structured interviews with a further eight students who were interviewed prior to starting work and three times over the following twelve months. All the participants had undertaken a BSc (Hons) Diagnostic Radiography at the same higher education institution. Four main themes were generated from the data; experience, fitting in, identity and supporting the transition. A high proportion of clinical education, balanced with theoretical input had developed the participants to be autonomous, reflective practitioners. However, they did find it difficult when required to take responsibility for, and assess students. During the transition process their awareness of departmental culture increased as did their professional identity. The participants wanted tailored support and found that they could ask any colleagues for advice and support and found peer support useful. An excellent practice of organised scaffolding support was identified which can be adapted for use in different areas. This helped the participants build experience and confidence. This study brings to light the experiences of newly qualified diagnostic radiographers. The findings are open to theoretical generalizability and raise issues that may be used by academic staff in the preparation of students and managers who support newly qualified staff members. These include considering how to train and educate student radiographers in supervisory skills, how to build confidence in areas where it is difficult to gain clinical experience, and facilitating peer support in imaging departments.

Abstract:
Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) symptoms are frequent in healthcare workers. In Radiology Departments, demanding postures assumed by radiographers frequently occurred. Chest plain radiography to bed-ridden patients is one of the most demanding ones. To evaluate postural strain in radiographers’, professional activity was simulated during bedside chest plain radiography performance.Bed-ridden chest X-ray examinations are generally performed by two radiographers. The simulations scenarios were recorded using photogrammetry methods, assessing postural variations of the main body segments (head/neck, upper arm, and trunk) (Kapitaniak et al. method, 2001). The main body angles of observed body segments were measured with dedicated software (Kinovea, version 0.8.15). The postures were classified into three categories according to European Standards (EN 1005-4:2005 + A1:2008): “acceptable”, “conditionally acceptable”, and “not acceptable” (British Standard, 2018).Results show demanding postures assumed by radiographers occurred during the X-ray tube manipulation requiring arm flexion, being more evident for radiographers that were shorter. Regarding patient handling, upper arm flexion was “not acceptable” when holding and pushing the patient by the shoulders. This arm posture may increase the risk of injuries especially since it is associated with high exertion of force and is repeated during the examination. In contrast, by supporting patients by scapula passing under the axilla, the constraint in the upper arm was reduced and the trunk flexion, even a bit more important, remain “acceptable”. This observation indicates that the need to train radiographers in manual patient handling. Unacceptable neck extensions can also be observed in the medium and smallest radiographers while handling the patient to probably have an overview (Cernean et al., 2017; Giger et al., 2008) and/or maintain a certain physical distance from the patient.Since bedside chest radiography is one of the most performed examinations requiring repeated movements and awkward posture, particular attention should be paid to biomechanical load. One strategy to reduce this physical constraint is the collaboration of both radiographers to lift the patient. Another one is changing the bedside radiography procedure, for instance raising the upper side of the bed to 45º, which will reduce the main risk factors doing the X-ray.Most of the radiographers self-associated conventional radiography practice with low back complaints, which is in line with previous studies in X-ray radiographers (Lorusso et al., 2007). This result was not surprising, even though the trunk posture was never classified as “not acceptable”, because the repetitive truck flexion with exertion of force to lift the patient may increase the risk of WRMSDs symptoms. Further research is needed to identify the demanding tasks responsible for symptoms.There is a lack of literature on the impact of anthropometric characteristics of radiographers performing X-rays, but mammography related studies showed that not adjustable radiological equipment to anthropometrics characteristics, is a physical risk factor, requiring radiographers to assume awkward postures possibly leading to WRMSDs symptoms (Cernean et al., 2017; Costa et al., 2014a). We dare to say there is a need to improve communication between users, equipment manufacturers, and designers to fit the needs of a wider range of radiographers' anthropometrics characteristics.

Abstract:
Ionizing radiation, when it hits our bodies, can ionize and excite the atomic nuclei of cells. Ionization and excitation will cause DNA damage either directly or indirectly. DNA damage is direct if ionizing radiation hits DNA, while DNA damage is indirectly through the formation of free radicals (atoms with unpaired electrons) and has a very damaging effect on DNA. Therefore, safety in ionizing radiation, including its use in the medical world, is essential. Protection includes safety avoiding deterministic effects and stochastic effects. To protect against both deterministic and stochastic effects, the role of the radiographer is significant. Heinrich (1980) estimates that (85%) accidents are the result of the contribution of unsafe work behavior (unsafe act). Radiation accidents reported by the United States Energy Atomic Commission from 1960-1968 were caused by operator error (68%), procedural errors (8%), equipment damage (15%), and others (9%). When viewed in detail, the operator's errors were not conducting a radiation survey (46%), not following procedures (36%), not using protective equipment (6%), human error (6%), and calculating radiation exposure errors (6%). Therefore, the radiographer must know and understand ionizing radiation, its dangers, and the application of radiation protection from the results of a survey conducted at Prof. Hospital. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Purwokerto to 22 radiographers showed that the level of understanding of ionizing radiation, the dangers, and the application of radiation protection is still low. Therefore education and training are very much needed for them. Keywords: Radiation Hazard, Radiation Protection, Radiographer Education and Training
