This survey study aimed to identify the radiological protection practices routinely used by veterinarians who work with portable digital X\u2010ray equipment in horses in Brazil and assess their knowledge regarding current legislation. A total of 120 voluntary participation questionnaires were sent to veterinarians who used portable digital radiographic equipment in horses nationwide. The frequencies of the answers were analyzed using the chi\u2010square test and logistic regression models. Thirty\u2010five veterinarians responded (29% response rate). Of these, there was a greater participation of professionals in public institutions (40%, 14\/35, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001), with 69% from the southeast region (24\/35, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) and 69% (24\/35, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.028) being male. We found that self\u2010employed veterinarians had a higher odds ratio (OR) (9.00; 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.39\u201358.44]; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.021) of not using personal protective equipment compared with those in professional public institutions. In addition, not knowing the current legislation Collegiate Directorate Resolution 611\/22 was a potential risk factor for lower radiological protection (OR, 8.00; 95% CI, [0.79\u201381.33]; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.079). In conclusion, findings indicated that Brazilian equine veterinarians generally do not adopt adequate radiological protection against ionizing radiation during radiographic examinations and have low knowledge of the current legislation. Results can be used as background for the formulation of specific radiation protection guidelines for veterinarians and incentive educational and training strategies to reduce risks inherent to occupational exposure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.13306","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T09:53:40Z","timestamp":1697622820000},"page":"1103-1112","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Knowledge and practice of radiation safety in Brazilian equine veterinarians are less than optimal: An online survey"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"64","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5250-0443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milena Carol Sbrussi","family":"Granella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science of University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8066-4787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anderson Fernando de","family":"Souza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science of University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9 Lu\u00eds do Valle De","family":"Zoppa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science of University of S\u00e3o Paulo  S\u00e3o Paulo Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12704"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1740\u20108261.1996.tb01225.x"},{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","first-page":"151","article-title":"Occupational health hazards in veterinary medicine: physical, psychological, and chemical hazards","author":"Epp T","year":"2012","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vru.12927"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","first-page":"377","article-title":"The incidence of malignant neoplasms in individuals working in areas of ionizing radiation in hospitals","volume":"13","author":"Milacic S","year":"2008","journal-title":"J BUON"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","unstructured":"CNEN.NN\u20103.01 Basic Guidelines for Radiological Protection.
