Abstract
This study assessed the perception of ethics by 40 radiographers and 30 radiography students in the Czech Republic. Most respondents confirmed that they considered the topic to be important for their profession. The majority of radiographers, but only few students, had encountered some ethical dilemma during their work. Almost all were aware of the existence of a Code of Ethics for radiographers, and the majority had at least some ethics education during their professional training. Our findings differ from those of similar surveys in the USA published in 2013 and 2015. In these, two-thirds of the respondents stated that they had not received any instruction in ethics during their training, and one-third indicated that they had witnessed unethical behaviour in their profession. We conclude that the ethics education of Czech radiographers makes them more aware of ethical problems when they encounter them.
