Abstract

Fluoroscopy experts who are exposed to radiation over a prolonged period face a higher likelihood of developing cancer caused by radiation. Therefore, the personnel are being more frequently exposed to X ray radiation during their everyday work. This brings up uncertainties about the risks they encounter and the radiation protection measures required to minimize them. The objective of the study was to assess the safety measures implemented by theater personnel for radiation protection. The survey for the study was conducted on patients and medical professionals involved in fluoroscopic procedures. For the gathering of data, we observed individuals such as patients, radiation technologists, radiologists, surgeons, and students who wore radiation protection clothing while undergoing radiological procedures at the Gastroenterology. The total observed individuals were 30 patients and 17 medical professionals.
