  • Abstract:
  • Scattered radiation is a significant concern in diagnostic radiography as it affects image quality and poses risks of unnecessary radiation exposure to both patients and healthcare workers. This paper explores various techniques for controlling scattered radiation, emphasizing dose reduction and adherence to radiation protection principles. Key strategies include the use of beam collimation, anti-scatter grids, and optimal exposure parameters. Advances in digital radiography and imaging technologies are also discussed as they contribute to minimizing scatter without compromising diagnostic efficacy. Furthermore, the role of personal protective equipment (PPE), shielding devices, and professional training in enhancing safety standards is highlighted. By integrating technical and procedural measures, it is possible to achieve a balance between diagnostic accuracy and radiation safety, safeguarding both patients and healthcare providers.Emphasis is placed on balancing image quality with patient and staff safety through evidence-based practices. The findings aim to guide radiology professionals in implementing comprehensive radiation protection measures while maintaining diagnostic efficacy.Key methods discussed include the use of collimation, anti-scatter grids, beam filtration, and optimized imaging protocols, alongside advancements in digital imaging technology. The integration of protective barriers, personal shielding equipment, and adherence to the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle is also highlighted as critical components of comprehensive radiation safety practices. Additionally, the study reviews recent innovations in scatter-reducing materials and technologies, providing insights into their potential to enhance safety and efficiency in clinical settings. By addressing the interplay between technical, procedural, and protective measures, this paper underscores the importance of a multifaceted approach to managing scattered radiation in diagnostic radiography, contributing to both improved healthcare outcomes and enhanced occupational safety.
