This study assesses the need for education in forensic medicine and forensic radiology among radiographers by investigating the perceptions and experiences of Korean radiographers working in medical institutions. A structured questionnaire was administered to participants, collected, and analyzed. The results showed that despite receiving frequent forensic cases, Korean radiographers face difficulties in taking appropriate measures about forensic radiology due to a lack of awareness and knowledge of its forensic aspects. The participants indicated that university education in forensic medicine and forensic radiology is necessary. Therefore, it is imperative to develop and implement policies for forensic education programs to enhance radiographers' forensic knowledge and capabilities. Universities should conduct courses on forensic radiology and provide continuing education for radiographers working in this field.
本研究通过调查在医疗机构工作的韩国放射技师的看法和经历，评估放射技师对法医学和法医放射学教育的需求。向参与者发放了一份结构化问卷，收集并进行了分析。结果显示，尽管韩国放射技师经常接到法医案件，但由于对法医放射学的法医方面缺乏认识和了解，他们在采取适当的法医放射学措施时面临困难。参与者表示，法医学和法医放射学的大学教育是必要的。因此，必须制定和实施法医教育计划政策，以提高放射技师的法医知识和能力。大学应开设法医放射学课程，并为从事该领域工作的放射技师提供继续教育。
