The discovery of X-rays revolutionized medicine because it allowed a patient to be examined
internally with no surgery. But also caused damage to health professionals and patients due, its
oxidizing action. In the beginning of its discovery, many doctors were exposed and exposed
beams to their patients for long periods of time, therefore, they developed diseases caused by
radiation and the medical community realized that something was wrong. Then created a
radiological protection commission to regulate its use in humans and so limit your exposure.
Today we know that many companies still did not fit the standards of radiation protection. So we
evaluate the technical professionals in radiology regarding the correct use of personal
dosimeter, through a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, we used the information
collection technique based on a questionnaire developed for this purpose which was delivered
and collected personally. From this survey, we sought to assess the knowledge of the basic
guidelines of radiological protection. He concluded that the majority of respondents know the
rules of use of the personal dosimeter, but do not use it properly, due mainly to lack of
supervision by the company, overwork and neglect.
