Knowledge, attitudes, and practices of healthcare professionals toward radiation safety in Kazakhstan: a cross-sectional study
There is an observed gap in clinicians' knowledge and imaging practices. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions, improved access to prior imaging records, and organizational strategies to optimize medical imaging practices and reduce unnecessary patient exposure to ionizing radiation. However, these results should be interpreted with caution due to the cross-sectional study design, convenience sampling, and reliance on self-reported data.
