Abstract Introduction: Radiation safety culture in health care considers radiation protection of patients, health workers and the general public. Radiation protection is the science and art of protecting people and the environment from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation in medical imaging is one of the powerful diagnostic tools, and accurate knowledge of radiation protection will affect the radiological technologists’ safety behaviors during practice. This is a preliminary descriptive study aimed to evaluate radiological technologist knowledge and performance towards radiation protection during their working time. Methodology: A total of 120 radiology technologists who work in selected Diagnostic Centers and Private Hospitals of Chattogram City Corporation Area, participated in this study and data was collected through well-structured pretested self-administered questionnaires. Result: Regarding radiation protection and awareness, the majority of the participants (98.7%) only know that doors and walls should be well shielded, they should wear personal monitoring devices during work time to monitor the individual dose limit and their devices used to check periodically providing assurance that dose limits are not exceeded. But most radiology technologists are very unconscious about patient safety. Only 10% of respondents have some knowledge on ALARA Principle and ionizing radiation. It was also warning that only 72% of respondent technologists wear lead aprons during their work. Discussions: Medical Technology is an outgoing field for career building across the world. In this preliminary descriptive study awareness was assessed by measures Knowledge, attitude and practice of Radiation Safety among different Radiological technologists and their associates among selected Diagnostic Centers and Private Hospitals of Chattogram City Corporation Area, Chattogram, Bangladesh. Conclusion: The findings of this study show the lack of awareness among professionals and patients regarding the potential harmful effects of unintended medical exposure. These may be caused by insufficient knowledge of the risks and relevant contributing factors among medical professionals, regulatory and public health authorities. Recommendations: Provide regular training for radiologic technologists on radiation safety and protection measures. Ensure strict supervision and enforcement by relevant authorities to uphold safety standards. Supply proper protective equipment (e.g., lead aprons, dosimeters) in all imaging facilities.
