Background: thoracic radiographic examination is one of the most commonly performedrndiagnostic procedures in the Emergency Department (ED), as it provides a rapid assessmentrnof the condition of the lungs and heart. However, this procedure involves the use of X-rays,rnwhich carry the risk of generating scattered radiation that may pose a hazard to healthcarernpersonnel. Therefore, the use of shielding or radiation protection is really essential tornsafeguard medical staff from any unnecessary exposure.rnObjective: this research aims to analyse the effectiveness of shielding in reducing thernspread of scattered radiation and to determine a safe distance for medical personnel, otherrnthan radiographers, during thoracic examinations in the Emergency Department ofrnBhayangkara Level I Hospital, Medical and Health Centre of National Police of thernRepublic of Indonesia.rnResearch Methodology: this research applies a qualitative method with descriptivernapproach, utilizing among the other things direct observation, literature review, interviews,rnand radiation exposure measurements using a survey meter at specific points (100–200 cm),rnboth with and without the use of shielding.rnResearch Findings: accordingly, the use of shielding has been proven effective in reducingrnthe scattered radiation exposure at various measurement points. The results indicate that atrna distance of 150 cm or more from the radiation source, exposure levels fall within thernsafety limits set out by BAPETEN (Nuclear Energy Regulatory Agency of Indonesia)rnstandards, making it safe for medical personnel even without the use of lead aprons.rnConclusion: shielding is highly effective in reducing scattered radiation during thoracicrnexaminations in the emergency department (ED). A minimum safe distance of 150 cm fromrnthe radiation source is recommended for medical personnel other than radiographers. It isrnstrongly recommended to continuously improve healthcare workers’ understanding andrncompliance with radiation protection principles, as well as to ensure the optimal use ofrnshielding within the Emergency Department (ED) environment.rnKeywords : Thoracic Radiography, Shielding, Scattered Radiation, EmergencyrnDepartment, Radiation Protection
