The objectives of this final project are to identify what kind of grammatical errors found in the abstract translations, the number of the errors, and the percentage of the errors. The population of the study was the whole abstract translations made by the students of Diploma IV Radiology Technics Program of Radiodiagnostic and Radiotherapy Technics Department of Jakarta II Health Polytechnics Ministry of Health in the academic year 2010/2011. There are 112 students who are divided into four classes. The classes are Computed Tomography Scan (CT Scan), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound (USG) and Radiotherapy.
