1. ASSESSMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL RADIATION DOSE TO RADIOGRAPHERS IN ANAMBRA STATE AND THEIR OPINION ON RADIATION PROTECTION MEASURES

ABSTRACT

Occupationally, radiographers are exposed to chronic low doses of ionizing radiation, hence it is important that they are regularly monitored and occupational dose kept as low as possible. This study determined the occupational dose to radiographers and their opinion to radiation protection measures in Anambra State. A prospective cohort survey of 60 radiographers who dispense ionizing radiation in both public and private centres, chosen from across Anambra state was conduc...

ABSTRACT

An evaluation of background ionizing radiation levels in Federal Medical Centre Keffi, Nasarawa State, Nigeria, objective of the is to determine the background radiation levels in each of the diagnostic rooms and other offices in the department, Determine the background radiation level outside the department in the areas close to the department. To investigate whether there are other external sources of ionizing radiation within the radiology department. To compute the aver...

3. INTERPRETATIONS OF CHEST X-RAYS BY RADIOGRAPHERS AND GENERAL PRACTITIONERS AT DISTRICT HOSPITALS IN THE CITY OF TSHWANE

ABSTRACT

The public health care system is at the core of transforming health services in South Africa. The effectiveness of patient service delivery in hospitals is highly dependent upon the ability to provide timeous, adequate diagnostic radiography and an immediate radiology service, to support and influence patient management. A shortage of radiologists restricts continuity in radiology services and causes a delay in diagnosis, compromising the overall quality of service to patie...

4. X-RAY SHIELDING BARRIER ESTIMATION: A CASE STUDY OF RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT, AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL, SHIKA – ZARIA

ABSTRACT

The shielding barrier already constructed in the general radiography, fluoroscopy and mammography rooms of Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Shika and the general radiography room of Barau Dikko Specialist Hospital, Kaduna was evaluated. The evaluation was based on the shielding code called XRAYBARR, which is a routine to calculate radiation shielding requirements for diagnostic radiology installations. This code uses distances to the occupied area, x-ray tube info...

5. THE EFFECT OF OCCUPATIONAL STRESS AND ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT ON DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING RADIOGRAPHERS IN RENDERING QUALITY SERVICE

Abstract

The aim:

The main aim of this study is to determine the effect of occupational stress and organizational commitment on diagnostic imaging radiographers in rendering quality service.

Background:

In the past two years radiography staff turnover at the public and private health organizations has increased by 45% and 50%. Increased occupational stress and burnout are some of the main reasons for staff leaving the organization. Limited studies were...

6. ASSESSMENT OF PROSTATE VOLUME AND PROSTATE SPECIFIC ANTIGEN AMONG APPARENTLY HEALTHY ADULT MALES IN PORT HARCOURT, NIGERIA

ABSTRACT

This study was aimed at establishing a relationship between prostate volume (PV) and prostate specific antigen (PSA).This was a cross -sectional survey design involving 500 asymptomatic male subjects aged 30 -45 years in Port Harcourt, South-South, Nigeria between January, 2014 and October, 2015. This was conducted with a view to establish the basis for inferences when screening the populations for benign prostatic hyperplasia and other prostatic pathologies such as prostat...
