Introduction: Digital radiography (DR) systems have revolutionised radiographers' experiences, particularly those accustomed to analogue methods. Despite the advantages, DR poses challenges due to its cost and technical requirements, especially in low-resource settings. Zambia, predominantly reliant on analogue systems, is gradually transitioning to DR.

With growing awareness of the negative environmental consequences of radiography services, there is an increasing call for radiographers to adopt sustainable practices. However, little is known about the levels of awareness, current practices, and challenges faced by radiographers working in low-resource settings on this subject.

However, sustainability in radiography, particularly in low-resource settings, remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge, practices, and barriers to sustainability in radiography practice among radiographers in Zimbabwe and Zambia.
