Introduction: Interventional neuroradiology procedures subject professionals who work in this area to high doses of ionizing radiation, and such exposure leads to a higher chance of occupational diseases related to this physical risk. Radiation protection practices aim to reduce the occurrence of such damage to the health of these workers.
Objectives: To identify how the practice of radiation protection occurs in a multidisciplinary team of an interventional neuroradiology service in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Objective: To reflect on the elements of nursing care management in radiological protection in interventional radiology.
Methodology: A reflection paper based on national and international articles and laws addressing the nursing care management issue and radiological protection in interventional radiology.
Results: From the conceptions of nursing care management and professional practice, the following elements were perceived in this management: expertise and applicability of the radiological protection principles, biological effects of ionizing radiation, occupational dose monitoring, personal and collective protective equipment, patient safety, training in radiological protection, quality assurance program.
Introduction: Radiology technicians are exposed to occupational risks in their daily work. Among these, there are biological and ergonomic risks.
Objectives: To describe the biological and ergonomic risks in the work process of radiology technicians in a conventional radiology service.
Background: Health care workers, including radiology technicians, are exposed to work burdens liable to cause exhaustion.
Objective: To describe sources of exhaustion within the work process of technicians at a hospital department of conventional radiology in Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Methods: Qualitative, descriptive and exploratory study in which data were collected from 12 radiology technicians by means of semi-structured interviews.
