Abstract

Radiography is a widely used medical imaging modality due to its ability to support rapid and non-invasive diagnosis. However, public concern regarding X-ray radiation exposure persists due to limited understanding of radiation protection principles. This community service activity aimed to improve public knowledge and awareness of medical radiation exposure and radiation protection.

The program was conducted on July 24, 2025, at Politeknik Al Islam Bandung in collaboration with Puskesmas Rusunawa, involving 73 participants consisting of 49 community members and 24 institutional staff. The methods included interactive lectures, discussions, and basic health screening such as blood pressure measurement, blood glucose, cholesterol, and uric acid tests. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding and awareness of radiation protection, as well as increased trust in radiographic examinations. This activity demonstrates that combining educational interventions with health services can effectively enhance public health literacy.
