ポータブルX線撮影における放射線技師の被曝防護意識に関する調査

抄録

 Recently, portable radiography has been performed in many facilities. In portable radiography, the distance between the radiological technologist and the patient is often close. Thus, exposure assessment and radiation protection for radiological technologist is important. However, the use status of personal protective equipment and the recognition of exposure differ depending on the facility and the individual. In addition, no detailed survey on the current state of portable radiography has been reported. Therefore, we conducted a questionnaire survey for radiological technologist involved in portable radiography. As the result of the questionnaire survey, it became clear that the protection status of radiological technologists during portable radiography varies depending on the facility, gender, and age. There were some opinions that it was difficult to keep away from the patient during portable radiography. In that case, it is desirable to wear protective equipment such as a protector.
