Abstract
Abstract: Background: The recent years have witnessed a notable surge in the utilization of Ionizing Radiation, primarily driven by advancements in diagnostic technology within the Radiology field. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that exposure to such radiation poses significant risks to both healthcare professionals and patients. Ionizing radiation comes with various disadvantages and potential harmful effects, the severity of which depends on the dose and duration of exposure. Recent reports have underscored the imperative need to enhance our understanding of ionizing radiation and its associated risks. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was carried out within the Swami Vivekanand Group of Institutes. A total of 101 participants, excluding those from the Radiology and Operation Theatre departments, completed a questionnaire consisting of 15 multiple-choice questions.

The only eligibility criterion was that participants should not be affiliated with the Radiology and Operation Theatre departments. Each participant was provided with a self-administered questionnaire, and over a span of 45 days, their knowledge about radiation safety.
