This review examines ergonomics and radiation safety in interventional radiology, highlighting risks and solutions for healthcare workers.

Approximately 60% of interventional radiology workers experience musculoskeletal disorders due to ergonomic challenges, and with long shifts, this issue intensifies.
Exposure to ionizing radiation can lead to severe long-term health problems including DNA damage and various cancers, highlighting the need for improved safety measures.
Assessment of workspace ergonomics indicates that poorly designed equipment and fixed positions significantly increase the risk of injury during procedures.
Integrating ergonomic principles with radiation safety guidelines offers potential solutions for enhancing both worker health and patient safety in medical settings.

SOYAL et al. (2025) studied this question.
