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

The X-ray collimator is an essential device in digital radiography to ensure the accuracy of radiation field size, image quality, and patient safety. This study aimed to evaluate the collimation conformity of digital radiography equipment at the Radiology Installation of Pelamonia Hospital Makassar in determining the accuracy of radiation field size. A descriptive quantitative method was used with a collimator test tool measuring 18 × 14 cm and a source-to-image distance (SID) of 100 cm. The tests were conducted three times through direct exposure, measuring the deviation between collimator light and X-ray field. The first test showed horizontal deviation of 0.2% and vertical deviation of 0.1%. The second test recorded horizontal deviation of 0.2% and vertical deviation of 0.1%. The third test also showed horizontal deviation of 0.2% and vertical deviation of 0.1%. All results were within the tolerance limits, with individual axis deviations of ≤2% and combined total deviation of ≤3% according to national standards. In conclusion, the digital radiography equipment at Pelamonia Hospital Makassar met safety standards and is suitable for clinical use to support patient safety and optimal image quality.
