The future of contemporary science calls for a moral conscience and ethics for science, the assumption of feelings, values, norms, duties and responsibilities for the work and scientific work in particular for professionals involved in the use of radiation ionizing. The objective of this work is to carry out a bibliographic review on the bioethical considerations related to the use of ionizing radiation as an expression of scientific-technological development, to contribute to raising social responsibility in its use in the Imaging Service of the Provincial General Teaching Hospital “Dr. Antonio Luaces Iraola” of Ciego de Ávila. To obtain the information, a search was carried out in bibliographic databases from 2015-2019, in the scientific literature of the Cuban VHL such as PubMed/Medline and Lilacs. Information sources available in full text, such as SciELO Cuba and Ebsco, were consulted. The knowledge related to the insufficiencies detected in relation to the lack of social perception about the risks that ionizing radiation implies for the health of patients, relatives, exposed workers, as well as for the environment due to lack of an adequate Culture of Radiological safety.

Keywords : Ionizing radiation; Radiation effects; Use of radiation in medicine and research; Ethics; Social responsibility.
