One of the causes of the radiation effect is the lack of attention of the radiographer to compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in the shooting process. In addition to compliance, knowledge about PPE and the benefits of using PPE is also very important for other medical personnel to know (Djojosumarto, 2008). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of the radiographer and the level of compliance in using personal protective equipment (PPE).The type in this research is quantitative by using the Analytical Survey method using a cross sectional approach or cross-sectional design. The population in this study were radiographers who served in radiology installations totaling 18 radiographers and 18 samples using purposive sampling technique, this research was conducted by giving a questionnaire aimed at determining the level of knowledge and compliance of radiographers in using personal protective equipment (PPE), then the data was processed and analyzed using SPSS program. The results of the study found that the relationship between the level of knowledge of the radiographer and the level of compliance with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) showed a significant value (p value < 0.05) meaning that there was a relationship between the level of knowledge of the radiographer and the level of compliance in using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Background: Based on observations made by researchers found incorrect apron storage. According to Permenkes No. 1250 of 2009, storage and placement of Pb aprons may not be folded and may not be hung. The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there are leaks in the apron.Method: Types of quantitative research approaches with experimental approaches. This research was conducted at the radiology installation. The testing is done by giving x-ray exposures on the surface of the apron. Based on the results of the exposure, the extent of the leak is in the apron. The measurement results will be compared with the theory Lambert 2001.Results: According to Lambert, apron leakage is still acceptable if the critical area is less than 15 mm2 and if the non-critical area is less than 670 mm2. The results showed that of the 15 aprons studied three aprons leaked, namely apron 4, apron 7, and apron 13 with each leakage area being 562.84 mm2, 312,174 mm2, 14,304 mm2 71,818 mm2.Conclusion: The total number of tested was 15 aprons, 3 aprons leaked and there was 1 apron which had no leakage. Leakage is caused by often placing an apron on the back of a chair, hanging an apron on a hanger, dropping an apron on the floor, and folding an apron on an examination table. Apron storage should be placed on a special rack in a horizontal position so as not to cause indentations or fractures on the lead.
Background: The technique of examining the wrist joint to see abnormalities in the carpalia region, especially in the scaphoid os, there is a special technique, namely ulnar deviation with variations of the central ray 150 to 250 proximally. Purpose: to determine in which direction the light is to assess the optimal scaphoid anatomy. Methods: data retrieval is done by shooting wrst joints with 15x and 25x proximaly rays. Results: The direction of the angular ray is 15 degrees of scapoid which is free from overlapping and more informative. Conclusion: The average value of the results of the questionnaire processing is obtained on the technique with 15o ray variation of 3.2733 with a value of 0.083.
The utilization of ionizing radiation in the form of X-rays in addition to providing benefits to the medical world also has the potential to have a detrimental effect on workers, patients and, society. Radiation protection is a very important aspect of controlling this adverse effect. Every utilization of ionizing radiation must have endeavored so that the reception of radiation doses by radiation workers is always as low as possible so that the prescribed dose limit (NBD) value is not exceeded. NBD for apprentices and students who are as low as 18 years old, who are carrying out training or practical work, or who because of their educational needs are forced to use a source of ionizing radiation, the same as the NBD that applies to radiation workers. Dose limit values for radiation workers must not exceed 20 mSv (twenty millisieverts) per year on average for five consecutive years. Determination of the external radiation dose received by practicum students at the Baiturrahmah University Radiology Laboratory aims to calculate how much the external radiation dose received by students during carrying out one course. Based on the results of the study found that the measurement of external radiation dose received by the student is 0 or there is no scattering radiation received by students, this is because at the time of exposure they are in the correct position that is behind the control panel wall that has been coated with Lead (Pb).
The phenomenon in the field, the researchers found that there was an examination of the cranium using the Towne method using only one beam direction, in theory there were variations in the direction of the beam 30° caudal and 37°. The aim of this study to see better anatomical information and which results from the Towne's method of cranium ap-axial radiographs that are able to show the optimal foramen magnum. This type of research uses an experimental study through a quantitative approach, the population in this study only uses one object, namely Phantom, sing several data collection methods such as studies, experiments and filling out questionnaires. The results of the study found that in the study of the examination of Towne's Method of Ap Axial Cranium overview with a beam direction of 30 ° caudal with a beam direction of 37 ° caudal shows if the value is significant (p value > 0.05), if (p value < 0.05) it means that there is a difference between the Towne Method Cranium with variations in the direction of the beam 30 ° caudal and 37 °caudal. And on the image of the Cranium Ap Axial Towne's Method which consists of 1 (one) object, it was found that the examination of the image of the Cranium Ap Axial of the Towne Method is better to use the 37° caudal ray direction, because the resulting image is better able to provide more optimal anatomical information to obtain a diagnosis. Towne's method of precise and accurate examination of the ap-axial cranium.
