Abstract

Implementation of the use of personal protective equipment against X-rays in accordance with the Standard Operational Procedures for Radiological Installations, which has a very important role in reducing the risk of work accidents due to radiation which impact radiographers and patients during radiological examinations. This research was carried out with the aim of finding out how to implement the use of personal protective equipment for X-rays according to standard operating procedures (SOP) for the radiology installation at Ibnu Sina Hospital YW-UMI. This research used quantitative methods using questionnaires given to 8 radiographers. The research results showed that radiology workers were not yet optimal in using Personal Protective Equipment for X-rays in accordance with the Standard Operating Procedures at Ibnu Sina YW-UMI Hospital.

Abstract

Background: The thyroid gland is highly sensitive to radiation and can easily be exposed during panoramic dental imaging. Although BAPETEN sets the annual public dose limit at 1 mSv, and ICRP 103 suggests a specific limit of 0.04 mGy per year for the thyroid, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is still often neglected in daily practice. This study aimed to assess how much radiation the thyroid receives during panoramic dental examinations without PPE.Methods: This study used a descriptive quantitative approach and was conducted at the Radiology Department of the Regional Dental and Oral Hospital, South Sulawesi. Ten patients undergoing panoramic radiography were selected. The thyroid radiation dose was calculated using five formulas: exposure dose, scatter dose, absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and effective dose. Technical factors such as tube voltage, current, exposure time, and distance to the thyroid were also recorded.Results: The absorbed dose to the thyroid gland obtained from 10 patients ranged from 0.0139 mGy to 0.0239 mGy, with a mean value of 0.0165 mGy and a standard deviation of 0.0035 mGy. These results indicate a relatively narrow distribution despite variations in patient body size and exposure parameters. All measured doses remained well below the annual organ dose limit of 0.04 mGy, as recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). However, existing literature has highlighted that even low-dose radiation exposures, when repeated and unshielded, may increase the stochastic risk of developing thyroid cancer—particularly in younger or genetically predisposed individuals. While the current findings confirm that radiation exposure during panoramic dental examinations is within acceptable limits, they also underscore the need for precautionary measures. The results support the practical implementation of the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle, especially through the consistent use of thyroid shields during panoramic imaging, as a critical component of evidence-based radiation protection strategies.Conclusions: Panoramic dental imaging without thyroid shielding still produces radiation doses that are within acceptable limits. However, it is strongly recommended that PPE be used consistently, along with adherence to the ALARA principle, to ensure maximum patient safety.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis manfaat dan tantangan penerapan sistem Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) di Instalasi Radiologi Rumah Sakit Otak dan Jantung Pertamina Royal Biringkanaya. PACS merupakan sistem digital yang menggantikan metode penyimpanan berbasis film konvensional guna meningkatkan efisiensi pelayanan radiologi. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kualitatif, dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui kuesioner, wawancara, observasi langsung, dan dokumentasi. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini terdiri dari enam orang radiografer dan satu orang dokter radiologi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PACS memberikan kontribusi signifikan terhadap peningkatan pelayanan. Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner, 62% radiografer menyatakan sangat setuju dan 38% setuju terhadap manfaat PACS. Respons dokter menunjukkan 80% sangat setuju, 10% setuju, dan 10% tidak setuju. Hasil wawancara memperkuat data kuantitatif tersebut, terutama dalam hal kemudahan akses gambar, kecepatan pelaporan, dan efisiensi alur kerja. Meski demikian, tantangan seperti gangguan jaringan dan perlunya pelatihan berkelanjutan masih ditemui. Hasil observasi menunjukkan bahwa infrastruktur PACS seperti komputer dan monitor sudah memadai, serta pelatihan yang diberikan umumnya cukup. Namun, responden menyarankan adanya pembaruan sistem dan pemeliharaan berkala. Secara keseluruhan, PACS terbukti meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan radiologi tetapi optimalisasi sistem masih diperlukan melalui peningkatan infrastruktur dan kapasitas pengguna.
