Purpose:
To develop an instrument to measure professional values in radiologic technology.
Methods:
The original Professionalism in Physical Therapy Core Values Self-Assessment instrument was modified into the Radiologic Technologists' Perceptions of Professional Values Scale (RTPPVS), which had 61 items. Psychometric analysis was used to produce the final 34-item scale.
Results:
The psychometric properties of the scale were examined using factor analysis and item analysis. The scale was refined using factor analysis to produce the final 34-item scale.
Discussion:
A factor analysis was performed on the RTPPVS and the scale was revised from 61 items to 34 items and renamed as the Haynes Scale of Professionalism for Radiologic Technology. The results of this study provide psychometric support for a professionalism scale for radiologic technology, which can be used as an assessment instrument for radiologic science educational programs and technologists.
Conclusion:
An instrument was created to measure professionalism in radiologic technology. Professional values encourage consistent patterns of behaviors, which are internal motivations to do the right thing. Adopting professional values stimulates the appropriate professional conduct, thereby supporting the legal, ethical, and regulatory standards.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
