The use of X-rays in radiology installations plays a crucial role in medical diagnosis. However, X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation that can pose serious health risks if exposure to medical personnel is not properly controlled. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of X-ray radiation safety measures for radiology workers through a literature review. The method used is a literature review of 10 scientific both from domestic and international sources, which discuss the implementation of radiation protection in radiology facilities. The review results show that most facilities have applied the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), with a 76% rate of personal protective equipment (PPE) usage, 60% performing regular dose monitoring, and only 40% regularly conducting radiation protection training. Additionally, compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs) was recorded at 72%, while only 30% of facilities had active survey meters. These findings indicate that challenges remain in the comprehensive implementation of radiation safety. Therefore, enhanced education, supervision, and availability of protective facilities are needed to ensure the occupational safety of radiation workers in radiology departments

Digital radiography of the sacrum requires precise adjustments of exposure parameters (kV, mA, time) to produce high-quality images while minimizing radiation exposure. This study aims to investigate how these exposure factors affect the quality of sacral images and to recommend optimal settings that align with radiation safety principles such as ALARA. By reviewing the existing literature, it was found that the modification of exposure parameters (kV, mA, time) in digital radiography is essential for achieving optimal image quality while minimizing radiation exposure. The exposure index (EI) serves as an indirect measure of the dose absorbed by the detector, thereby facilitating the implementation of the ALARA principles. Properly orienting the AEC chamber can reduce radiation dose by up to 44% without compromising image quality. Tube voltage and current adjustment enhances image contrast and sharpness. Nonetheless, inconsistent exposure methods and dependence on presets can still lead to dose creep. It is essential to train radiographers, adjust equipment settings, and set Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRLs) to enhance imaging quality and ensure patient safety. In digital radiography, factors such as tube voltage (kV), tube current (mA), and exposure time (s/mAs) significantly affect image quality and patient radiation dose. Adjusting exposure settings according to patient characteristics and exam objectives enhances image quality and reduces radiation exposure, particularly in sensitive areas like the sacrum. Technologies such as Exposure Index (EI), Automatic Exposure Control (AEC), and image analysis software facilitate an objective method that follows the ALARA principle, ensuring patient safety while optimizing diagnostic outcomes.

The effectiveness of communication is a crucial component in healthcare services, significantly contributing to patient satisfaction. In conventional contrast examination procedures, effective communication is essential for conveying information about the methods, benefits, risks, and preparation required for the examination. A survey conducted through interviews with 30 patients and their families at the Radiology Department of RS XYZ revealed that 23 respondents expressed dissatisfaction with the communication provided by radiology staff. They reported difficulties in understanding instructions and explanations, noted that explanations were poorly structured, some components were omitted prior to the examination, and the language used was often difficult to comprehend. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of radiographer communication in relation to patient satisfaction during conventional contrast examinations at RS XYZ. Employing a quantitative descriptive design with a survey method, data were collected via questionnaires distributed to 30 respondents undergoing conventional contrast examinations or their family members. The data were analyzed using the Percentage Index formula to measure satisfaction levels. The study was conducted between May and June 2025. Key factors assessed included respect, empathy, listening ability, clarity, and humility. The results showed that respect scored 68% (categorized as fairly satisfied), empathy 81% (satisfied), listening ability 88% (satisfied), clarity 85% (satisfied), and humility 75% (satisfied). The lowest score was for respect, while the highest was for listening ability. Overall, the effectiveness of radiographer communication in relation to patient satisfaction during conventional contrast examinations at RS XYZ reached 61%, categorized as satisfied.
