“…These discrepancies might be due to laboratory errors. 33 In addition, because the blood factor MCV is used in the calculation of RDW, errors in MCV measurement might lead to errors in the calculation of RDW. Therefore, more studies with greater accuracy and fewer errors are required.…”

“…Kurang lebih sekitar dua miliar pemeriksaan radiologi, 32 juta pemeriksaan kedokteran nuklir, dan lebih dari enam juta radioterapi dilaksanakan setiap tahunnya (4). Pada daerah asal peneliti pada Kabupaten Kediri, tepatnya Kecamatan Pare terdapat beberapa fasilitas kesehatan tingkat lanjutan yang menyediakan pelayanan pemeriksaan radiologi.…”

“…Selain itu paparan dalam intensitas rendah juga dapat memaksa neutrofil muda untuk dewasa lebih cepat dan apoptosis. Hal ini sesuai dengan penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya dimana terjadi penurunan jumlah neutrofil (4,(19)(20). Limfosit berlebihan merupakan pertanda jika tubuh sedang menghadapi infeksi atau peradangan.…”

White blood cells are part of the hematopoetic system that is radiosensitive and are markers for determining the effects and intensity of ionizing radiation. This quantitative study aims to see the effect of ionizing radiation (x-rays) from x-ray services on the white blood cells of radiology officers at advanced health facilities in Pare District, Kediri Regency between September 2022, and January 2023. Using the slovin formula, a total of 60 participants were determined, 30 radiology nurses and 30 comparison groups of administrative officers. When viewed as a whole, the relative number of white blood cells there was no significant difference between the radiology officer group and the administrative officer, but the administrative officer group tended to have a a little higher white blood cell count. Significant differences occurred in the relative number of neutrophils with a significance of 0.0001 (0.05) Neutrophils of radiology officer tended to be smaller than the dissident group. The number of lymphocytes of radiology officer is different from administrative officer and tends to have higher count. Based on the findings it can be indicated if x-ray exposure affects the white blood cell count.

“…These advancements have yielded significant progress, leading to the development of pioneering technologies and enhanced patient care. However, this upsurge is a significant factor contributing to the possibility of increased cumulative radiation doses to medical personnel [1][2][3][4]. Hence, there exists a growing imperative to mitigate the potential hazards associated with radiation, including tissue harm and the development of cancer [5].…”

The traditional training methods in radiological hot laboratories involve significant challenges, including the risk of radiation exposure and the development of radiophobia among learners. Virtual reality (VR) presents an innovative educational solution by simulating realistic hot lab environments and procedures without associated risks. This mixed-method study investigates the efficacy of VR in enhancing cognitive retention and practical skills and reducing radiophobia among students. All participants (video and VR cohorts) were given a pre-test, same-day training post-test, after 1 month, and after 3 months. In the 3-month test, 13% of the control group scored > 80%, and 87% of the VR group scored > 80% (6.69-fold more significant). VR simulated the real-world hot lab more accurately than training videos, resulting in increased confidence and safety. Resulting in the control group (video training), radiophobia decreased by 1.52-fold; in contrast, the VR training group reduced by 2.42-fold. These reductions indicate that VR training was significantly more effective in reducing radiophobia than traditional video training. VR enhanced knowledge retention, reduced radiophobia, increased safety confidence, and reduced fear about pursuing a career in nuclear medicine. Overall, VR created a safer working environment, and RT students responded more positively than the instruction videos. Consequently, a mixed-method study revealed key codes of engagement, easy understanding, memory, safety, confidence, learning experiences, implementation in the curriculum, and getting ready for clinical practice.
