        <p>The use of medical imaging has been on the rise in the past few decades, which has brought about concerns and raised questions regarding the dangers of radiation exposure. Although medical imaging is beneficial in the medical sector, the high level of radiation from artificial sources that the patients are exposed to raises many questions, especially considering the risks associated with it. To identify the knowledge and awareness regarding radiation hazards among medical students in KSA. A cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical survey was conducted among medical students in Saudi Arabia. To collect data for the study, a validated questionnaire survey was distributed to medical students in most schools in Saudi Arabia. In essence, the population engaged in the study was medical students and intern physicians in Saudi Arabia. Out of 412 participants, the results of the study on the awareness level score concerning radiation dose and associated risks among medical students are quite interesting. The study found that out of the total number of participants, 42% had a low awareness level, 21.6% had a moderate awareness level, and 36.4% had a high awareness level. Regarding attitude score, 27.7% of the individuals surveyed have a positive attitude, 61.7% have a neutral attitude, and 10.7% have a negative attitude. In conclusion, the investigation of awareness and attitude levels concerning radiation dose and associated risks among medical students in KSA is crucial for the safety of healthcare workers and patients, as only around one-third of the participants exhibited high awareness and attitude scores.</p>
