Abstract

Background: In many regions, including Surabaya, ultrasonography (USG) remains underutilized for the early detection of non-obstetric conditions due to limited public understanding of its diagnostic value. This lack of awareness poses a challenge to the optimal delivery of healthcare services. Objective: This community service program aimed to increase public knowledge about the role of ultrasonography in healthcare through the ULTRASAFE (Ultrasound Literacy and Radiology Awareness for Safe Examinations) initiative. Method: The activity consisted of two sessions. The first involved a presentation and discussion with 35 participants from Bronggalan, Surabaya. The second included a mobile outreach session through the distribution of brochures and posters, accompanied by a question-and-answer segment. Evaluation was conducted using pre-tests and post-tests to assess knowledge improvement. Results: Following the discussion and interactive presentations, participants demonstrated a clear understanding of the benefits of ultrasonography imaging. The program significantly improved participants’ knowledge, as reflected in the increase of the mean score from 83.11% to 95.98%, with an N-gain value of 0.76. Conclusion: The ULTRASAFE activity effectively enhanced public literacy and attitudes toward ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool at Bronggalan, Surabaya.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the correlation between age and Body Mass Index (BMI) with the Computed Tomography Dose Index Volume (CTDIvol) and Dose Length Product (DLP) in non-contrast head CT scans performed on trauma patients. This observational analytic study employed a retrospective approach involving 30 adult patient samples. The results showed an average CTDIvol value of 65.18 mGy, exceeding the national Diagnostic Reference Level (DRL) established by BAPETEN (60 mGy). Nevertheless, this value is consistent with the use of the standardized “Brain Trauma” protocol and a uniform tube voltage of 120 kV. The CTDIvol ranged from 42.4 mGy to 103 mGy, indicating data homogeneity, with an average DLP of 1779.97 mGy·cm, significantly surpassing the national DRL (1275 mGy·cm). The elevated DLP value is attributed to the scan length extending from the vertex to the cervical vertebra 7, in accordance with hospital standard operating procedures for ead trauma management. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that age and BMI did not have a significant effect on CTDIvol (age Sig.=0.986; BMI Sig.=0.000) nor on DLP (age Sig.=0.134; BMI Sig.=0.055). This indicates that the radiation dose is more influenced by consistent technical protocols than by patient characteristics.
