- Title
Radiography Students' Radiation Exposure Perceptions and Protection Methods.
- Authors
Eaton, Angie
- Abstract
This study was performed to determine student perceptions of radiation exposure and protection methods. Knowledge of radiation protection and exposure dose rates is similar among the three main program groups studied. Findings demonstrated an increase in awareness and reduction of radiation dose knowledge among the students enrolled for 11 months or longer. This study presents that radiography students received adequate training in radiation protection and consistently use common dose reduction methods. However, students observed radiographers were not as diligent in the use of radiation protection, indicating there is a need for continued education in radiation protection among radiographers.
