Radiological imaging is a diagnostic tool in medicine for diagnostic and therapeutic examinations. There are different types of imaging modalities such as conventional radiography, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, computer tomography, nuclear medicine, fluoroscopy studies for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease visualized in the human body. There are two types of radiation used in radiological procedures; ionizing and non - ionizing radiation. The ionizing radiation used during radiological procedures carries potential risk to the patient depend upon the dosage used. Ionizing radiation is a type of energy released by atoms that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves(gamma or x rays) or particles (neutrons, beta or alpha)(WHO 2016). Radiation has been proven to have adverse biological effects on living organisms. These adverse effects differ according to dose and duration of exposure. Radiation is widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases, but its limitation for medical purposes is important. Previous studies proved that doctors’ knowledge of radiation safety is insufficient and unnecessary examinations are performed every year (Bilgin & Ceyhan 2007) A study that was done in the United States on the growing use of imaging procedures has raised concerns about exposure to low-dose ionizing radiation in the general population (Fazel et al. 2009). Most of the doctors and intern doctors underestimated real radiation doses. This lack of awareness may cause doctors to order more radiological investigations than they would if properly educated (Bilgin & Ceyhan 2007). As radiation exposure affects doctors’ everyday clinical practice, perhaps it should be regularly reinforced during hospital induction programs to improve knowledge (Shiralkar et al. 2002). OBJECTIVE: To determine and to assess the perception of clinicians on radiological examinations and on patients’ exposure safety to ionizing radiation at KCMC hospital. METHODOLOGY: The proposed study will be hospital based, prospective cross sectional and case qualitative study. Data will be collected through the participant that will be obtained from those who will consent after explaining the aim of the study to them and meet the inclusion criteria. A purposive sampling method will be employed to select sample size required.
