The instrument of this study was a set of questionnaires which had been tested to 30 UKI students from the 1st semester of pediatric medicine faculty. Researchers carried out data processing through editing, coding, processing, and cleaning stages. The researcher used univariate and bivariate analysis to analyze the research results. The result of the research is that most of the respondents have a high level of knowledge of X-Ray, and the source most often used by students to find information about X-Ray is electronic media. Based on the bivariate analysis results, the p-value obtained is 0.000, which means that there is a significant relationship between the respondent's school origin and the level of knowledge of X-rays.
