Although ionizing radiation is very important in diagnostic and treatment of many diseases, the hazards of this radiation are considerable and irrefutable. One of the main stages in radiation protection is knowledge about radiation dose in radiological investigation. The aim of this study was to determine the physicians' knowledge in radiological examinations.
The data collected by questionnaire were designed and the most commonly requested radiological investigations were listed. The questionnaire was distributed among 106 consultant physicians. The survey was conducted on the awareness about the radiation dose and risks among health professionals in Iran.
The results indicated that the majority of physicians did not know about ionizing radiation and evaluation of absorbed dose in patients. Many of these physicians were not aware of radiations risks and the most important aspects of radiation protection; although, they have passed some courses in radiobiology and medical physics.
Since radiological examinations play an indispensable role in medicine, knowledge about radiation doses and hazards is very important. Generally, this study showed that knowledge of radiation doses is inadequate among physicians.
尽管电离辐射在许多疾病的诊断和治疗中非常重要,但其危害是相当大且无可辩驳的。辐射防护的主要阶段之一是了解放射学检查中的辐射剂量。本研究的目的是确定医生在放射学检查方面的知识水平。
设计了通过问卷收集数据的方式,并列出了最常要求进行的放射学检查。问卷分发给了106名顾问医生。该调查针对伊朗卫生专业人员对辐射剂量和风险的认识进行。
结果表明,大多数医生不了解电离辐射以及患者吸收剂量的评估。这些医生中的许多人没有意识到辐射风险和辐射防护的最重要方面;尽管他们已经修过一些放射生物学和医学物理课程。
由于放射学检查在医学中起着不可或缺的作用,了解辐射剂量和危害非常重要。总体而言,这项研究表明医生对辐射剂量的了解不足。
