The use of ionizing radiation in medical imaging for diagnostic and interventional
procedures has increased substantially, leading to higher exposure for both patients and healthcare
workers (HCWs). Effective radiation protection measures are crucial to minimizing associated risks.
Objective: This study assesses radiation protection practices among personal health care workers,
patients, and environment in diagnostic radiology departments in Tobruk Medical Center.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 70 HCWs, including radiologists, nurses, and
radiographers, from March to May 2022. Data were collected through a validated self-administered
questionnaire covering demographic details, radiation protection practices, and compliance with safety
measures. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25.0.
