Background: Radiation protection is an important aspect of the utilization of imaging modalities and radiological practices, as patient and healthcare workers are at risk of chronic health problems, if ionizing radiation is improperly managed. Student and radiographer knowledge of radiation protection should be at an adequate level to encourage a safe radiological practice culture.

Objective: This study aimed to measure and compare the level of radiation protection knowledge inquiry between radiography students and registered radiographers in Uttarakhand, India.

Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based survey was employed among radiography students and professional radiographers in Uttarakhand through institutions and diagnostic centers. Questionnaires focused on essential aspects of radiation protection to evaluate the level of knowledge, such as awareness of the ALARA principle, use of protective equipment, understanding of radiation units and dose limits, and adherence to established safety protocols. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, as well as practical and comparative methods to evaluate differences between student and radiographer knowledge level.
