Assessment of Radiation Protection Knowledge among Radiology Professionals and Students: A Study Conducted at a Medical College

This survey investigates the level of knowledge and awareness regarding radiation protection among radiology professionals and students at a medical college in Mosul, Iraq. Using a structured questionnaire administered to 55 participants, including radiologists, physicists, and students, the study evaluated responses through descriptive and inferential statistics. The overall mean knowledge score was 68.57%, with significant variation observed across academic qualifications. Medical physicists showed the highest awareness, while diploma graduates demonstrated inadequate understanding. The findings underscore the need for enhanced radiation protection training and curriculum revision, particularly for lower academic tiers. The study advocates for periodic workshops and stronger national legislation to reinforce safety practices.
