Medical imaging techniques, such as X-rays, computed tomography (CT), and fluoroscopy, utilize ionizing radiation to generate images for diagnostic purposes. While these procedures are essential for medical diagnosis, they also expose patients to radiation. Understanding the potential risks associated with radiation exposure and adhering to appropriate safety practices are crucial for patients undergoing medical imaging. This study aims to assess the level of knowledge and awareness among patients at General Hospital Gusau regarding radiation exposure, its potential health effects, and the safety measures employed during medical imaging. A literature review was conducted to identify relevant studies focusing on patient knowledge and awareness of radiation exposure and safety practices during medical imaging. Various databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and academic journals were searched. The reviewed studies encompassed a range of patient populations, including different age groups and medical conditions. In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of enhancing patient knowledge and awareness regarding radiation exposure and safety practices during medical imaging at General Hospital Gusau. By improving patient education and communication, healthcare providers can empower patients to make informed decisions, actively participate in their healthcare, and adhere to appropriate safety practices. Future research and interventions should focus on developing effective educational materials and strategies tailored to the specific patient population at General Hospital Gusau to enhance their understanding of radiation risks and safety measures....Preview Download Preview +Other Medical Radiography project topics and materials you might be interested in»Knowledge and practice of justification of medical exposure among medical and dental practitioners in teaching hospitals within Kano metropolis»Pattern of bone scintigraphy findings in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria»Knowledge and awareness of radiation exposure and safety practice among patients undergoing medical imaging General Hospital Gusau»Evaluation of the prevalence of sesamoid bone in lower extremity radiographs (case study of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Universty Teaching Hospital Bauchi, Bauchi state)»The relevance of biomedical engineers on computer tomography (CT) in intensive care unit (ICU) Muhammad Abdullahi Wase Hospital
