“…Radiographers have been reported to have insufficient knowledge of the impact of exposure parameters on the radiation dose and how to optimize the CT image quality by adjusting the CT parameters (Rawashdeh et al, 2018). Studies on knowledge and practice of CT exposure parameters among radiographers from various populations have been addressed in literature including American (Foley et al, 2013), Jordanian (Rawashdeh et al, 2018), Nigerian (Muhammad et al, 2019) (Abdulkadir et al, 2021), Emiratis (Abuzaid, Elshami, Noorajan, Khayal, & Sulieman, 2020) and Iranian (Mahmoudi, Naserpour, Farzanegan, & Davudian Talab, 2019) (Kazemi, Hajimiri, Saghatchi, Molazadeh, & Rezaeejam, 2023). However, limited report on the local Malaysian radiographers has been discussed about their knowledge and practice of CT exposure parameters.…”

Knowledge and practices of Computed Tomography (CT) exposure parameters have a direct impact on radiation exposure to patients in CT examinations. This study is aimed to determine the level of knowledge and practice of CT exposure parameters among radiographers in a teaching hospital in Malaysia. A cross-sectional survey using a validated questionnaire was conducted on 60 radiographers who are practicing CT in a teaching hospital in Klang Valley, Malaysia. The results demonstrated that the radiographers had good and excellent scores in knowledge (76.5%) and practice (88.3%), respectively. Further training on CT optimization practice should be executed for radiographers in the future.
