Background: Adherence to protection and technical principles in imaging centers reduces patient dose and improves image quality. This study examines the level of knowledge, attitude and performance of radiologists regarding the principles of radiation protection in medical imaging centers of hospitals.Material and Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study that was conducted among all radiologists working in radiology centers in three cities. The measuring tool was a questionnaire containing information about the level of knowledge, attitude and performance of radiologists regarding technical principles and radiation protection. The information of completed questionnaires was analyzed using SPSS software.Results: All radiologists working in the imaging department, which included 61.29% of men (38 male) and 38.71% of women (24 female) in this study. The technical and protective performance scores of radiologists for factors such as gender, age and background of staff, employment status and education, but the effect of the factors was not significant with scores. Conclusions:In order to obtain more favorable results for obtain better quality images, which plays an important role in diagnosis, as well as to reduce the dose of the patient it is necessary to continuously train, monitor and evaluate the technical and protection performance of personnel.

Background: Maintaining patients’ safety is a basic professional role of radiographers. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the technical, protective, and technological operation of interventional radiologists. Objectives: The current study aimed to determine the protective and technical performance of radiographers and their knowledge and expertise. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 60 radiographers working in radiology wards of hospitals affiliated to the Zahedan University are included. A checklist whose reliability and validity were previously established was used to collect data. For the radiography staff, 17 technical and 12 protective items were checked and recorded during three work shifts. Data were analyzed by SPSS. Results: The performance score of 27 males (45%) and 33 females (65%) was assessed. Seven factors of radiology staff, including gender, employment status, age, work experience, number of shifts, Work Shift, and Education, were evaluated, and that number of shifts was statistically significant. Conclusions: The radiographers’ awareness of technical and protective principles was at a medium level. Increasing attention to the quality of academic training and continuous education is necessary.

BACKGROUND: The key objective of a healthcare provider is to ensure the quality and increase the efficiency of X-ray diagnostics in both municipal and private medical facilities. A poor-quality radiologic image requires repeated procedures, which results in further reputation, time, and economic losses for the medical organization. Moreover, repeated examinations further contribute to the patient’s total radiation exposure. AIM: To assess the contribution of poor-quality X-ray examinations to patient exposure in outpatient medical organizations with telemedicine services. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study aimed to evaluate poor-quality X-ray examinations recorded by radiologists at the Moscow Reference Center in 2022 by applying a specially developed quality control system for diagnostic examinations based on information technology. In addition, during X-ray examinations, the methods for finding effective doses received by patients were applied in compliance with current regulatory requirements. Statistical methods were also used. RESULTS: In this study, 2,059 poor-quality examinations were recorded, accounting for 0.084% of the total number of examinations interpreted with telemedicine. The collective effective dose from poor-quality examinations was 3.613 man-Sv, which was 0.11% of the total collective dose of patients in outpatient medical organizations. CONCLUSION: The implementation of a quality control system for diagnostic examinations based on information technology proved to be efficient for medical organizations rendering telemedicine services.
