Overview

Cross-sectional study assessed knowledge of radiation risks in 500 patients, highlighting gaps in education and communication.

Key Points

  • Only 28% of patients had sufficient knowledge about radiation risks associated with diagnostic imaging, indicating a serious awareness gap.
  • Higher education levels and previous X-ray exposure significantly correlated with better knowledge of radiation hazards, showing clear demographic influences.
  • A cross-sectional study surveyed 500 adult patients receiving X-rays, CT scans, or fluoroscopy at three hospitals in northern India from July to December 2024.
  • The findings suggest healthcare providers must improve communication strategies to enhance patient awareness and understanding of radiation safety.
