Medical Imaging Technologists
(TGT)  by using highly developed
technical equipments perform different 
imaging applications in many different modalities with safely and
effectively(computed tomography, mammography, conventional x-ray, dental
radiology etc.). High technologic equipments and differences of education
levels shows the importance of  the
radiation safety and protection knowledge of TGT's. 

The level of knowledge and skills
related to radiation protection is the most important issue in the field of
medical imaging for the protection of patients and employees from radiation. For
this reason, radiation safety and protection education guide has been published
by the European Union in order to establish certain standards in radiation
protection education in 2014. In this guideline, curricula and course contents
related to radiation protection were determined for education in universities.





In this study specified
criteria in European Union guidelines was compared with the radiation safety
and protection training curriculum and course contents of   Universities in Turkey.  The results of the study will contribute to
the preparation and development of the curriculum related to radiation safety
and protection and to get a certain education standard in universities. In the
results of the study, radiation safety and protection education curriculum and
course contents were found that a lower level according to of the European
Union guide.

Günümüzde, tıbbi görüntüleme teknikerleri
(TGT), tıbbi radyasyon uygulaması esnasında çok gelişmiş teknik ekipmanlar
kullanarak, pek çok çekim modalitesi için (bilgisayarlı tomografi, mamografi,
konvansiyonel röntgen, dental radyoloji vb.) birbirinden farklı çekim
uygulamalarını güvenli ve etkin biçimde gerçekleştirmektedirler.

Radyasyondan korunmaya ilişkin bilgi
ve beceri düzeyi hasta ve çalışanların radyasyondan korunması açısından tıbbi
görüntüleme alanında en öncelikli konudur. Bu nedenle radyasyon korunması
eğitiminde belirli standartların oluşturulması için Avrupa Birliği tarafından
radyasyon güvenliği ve koruma eğitim rehberi yayınlanmıştır. Bu rehberde,
üniversitelerdeki eğitim için radyasyondan korunma ile ilgili müfredat ve ders
içerikleri belirlenmiştir.





Bu çalışma, Türkiye’ deki
üniversitelerde radyasyon güvenliği ve korunması eğitim müfredatı ve ders
içeriklerinin, Avrupa Birliği rehberinde belirtilen kriterlere göre
karşılaştırılması amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma sonuçlarının
üniversitelerdeki radyasyon güvenliği ve korunmasıyla ilgili olan müfredatın
hazırlanması, geliştirilmesine ve belirli bir standart getirilmesine katkı
sağlayacaktır. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda, Türkiye'deki radyasyon güvenliği ve
koruması eğitimi, Avrupa Birliği standartlarından daha düşük seviyede olduğu
bulunmuştur.
