Abstract: Occupational health monitoring programs play a crucial role in safeguarding the well-being of radiology workers who are exposed to ionizing radiation. This multi-center longitudinal study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs across different healthcare institutions. The study followed 500 radiology workers from 10 hospitals over five years, comparing health outcomes, radiation exposure levels, and adherence to safety protocols between institutions with comprehensive monitoring programs and those with basic programs. Results indicate that comprehensive programs are associated with lower rates of radiation-related health issues, better adherence to safety protocols, and increased job satisfaction among radiology workers. The study provides evidence-based recommendations for improving occupational health monitoring in radiology departments.
