Abstract

Radiation dose reduction in pediatric radiography, particularly for babygram examinations, is a critical concern in modern healthcare. Infants and young children are highly sensitive to ionizing radiation, necessitating stringent protection measures to minimize potential long-term health risks. This study aimed to implement and evaluate Diagnostic Reference Levels (DRL)-based strategies for optimizing radiation doses in babygram procedures at RSUD Dr. Soedirman Kebumen. A socialization program was conducted for radiology staff, including radiologists, radiographers, and medical physicists, focusing on DRL application, ALARA principles, immobilization techniques, and collimation strategies. Results showed improved adherence to DRL guidelines, enhanced awareness among staff, and more effective use of dose reduction techniques. Evaluations indicated significant potential for dose reduction without compromising diagnostic quality. By incorporating advanced dose reduction techniques and conducting regular audits, this study concludes that implementing DRL-based strategies significantly enhances patient safety in pediatric radiography while maintaining diagnostic efficacy. Recommendations include prioritizing professional development, regular quality assessments, and expanding the use of DRLs alongside investments in automated planning technologies.

The pigment found in red beets is betalain, betalain is a class of antioxidants. Betacyanin is classified as an antioxidant that can prevent cancer, Cancer is one of the most devastating diseases affecting many people around the world. It is characterized by the uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the body, which can spread to other tissues through a process called metastasis. Beetroot has been linked to various health benefits, including its ability to fight cancer. However, public knowledge and understanding of the benefits of beetroot and how to cook it creatively and enjoyably is still limited.The solution is provided through training and mentoring for the community in making foods and beverages containing beetroot, ranging from practical training sessions to creating recipes that are easy to understand and follow. method of providing material on the importance of beetroot for preventing cancer as well as training and mentoring or hands-on in making beetroot juice and pudding.This community service activity was held at the Dinar Indah Cluster, RT 04 RW 26 Meteseh, Tembalang, with 30 participants. The activity included providing information on the importance of beetroot in preventing cancer. Community service activities also involve hands-on activities involving making beetroot juice and pudding by participants. Based on the results of the comparison between the pre-test and post-test, there was a significant increase between the scores of 40-60 to 80-100. This increase in scores indicates that the participants' understanding of beetroot, starting from the scientific aspects, nutritional content, to its role in cancer prevention, has experienced a real increase, and 100% of participants stated that the benefits of beetroot are very good for preventing cancer and encouraging people to adopt healthy behavior by diligently consuming beetroot.
