BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: In Taiwan, a new frontier related to the dental radiology for the medical radiation technologists is under development. This study assessed the participants' learning outcomes after finishing the dental radiology course related to the application of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the continuing education of the medical radiation technologists in Taiwan.
This study used the questionnaire survey to evaluate the participants' learning outcomes after finishing the dental radiology course for the continuing education of the medical radiation technologists in Taiwan.
In this study, 41 participants filled out the questionnaires completely after finishing the dental radiology course. The results showed that most of participants found this course to be helpful in raising their basic knowledge about the dental radiology, their attitude towards the dental radiology, and their interest in further learning of the dental radiology. They were satisfied with the courses. The degree of agreement for each question was high with all the mean scores for each question being between 4.34 and 4.68. The numbers (rates) of respondents who answered as strongly agree were between 19 (46.34 %) and 29 (70.73 %).
The dental radiology course for the continuing education of the medical radiation technologists has proven to increase the participants' basic knowledge about the dental radiology, and their awareness of the dental radiation protection. Thus, this model can be continuously used for contributing to the ongoing development of this new frontier related to the dental radiology continuing education course for the medical radiation technologists in Taiwan.
背景/目的：在台湾，医学放射技师在牙科放射学领域的一个新前沿正在发展。本研究评估了参与者在完成与锥形束计算机断层扫描（CBCT）应用相关的牙科放射学课程后，对台湾医学放射技师继续教育的学习成果。
本研究采用问卷调查的方式，评估参与者在完成台湾医学放射技师继续教育的牙科放射学课程后的学习成果。
在本研究中，41名参与者在完成牙科放射学课程后完整填写了问卷。结果显示，大多数参与者认为该课程有助于提高他们对牙科放射学的基础知识、对牙科放射学的态度以及对进一步学习牙科放射学的兴趣。他们对课程感到满意。每个问题的同意程度都很高，每个问题的平均得分在4.34至4.68之间。回答“强烈同意”的受访者人数（比例）在19（46.34%）至29（70.73%）之间。
事实证明，医学放射技师继续教育的牙科放射学课程能够增加参与者对牙科放射学的基础知识以及他们对牙科辐射防护的认识。因此，这种模式可以持续用于推动台湾医学放射技师牙科放射学继续教育课程这一新前沿领域的持续发展。
