Question | Answer |
ESE | entrance skin dose, patient dose measured with a TLD |
how accurate is a TLD? | within +/- 5% |
what is the average ESE for flouro? | 4 R/min |
MMD | mean marrow dose, measures average dose to entire active bone marrow |
MMD average in the US populations | 100 mrad/yr |
GSD | gentically significant dose, gonad dose. |
term for the dose which if recieved by the entire population would produce total genetic effects | GSD |
GSD for diagnostic x-rays | 20 mrad/yr |
ESE for mammo | 800 mR per view |
glandular dose (Dg) | dose recieved to breast tissue in mammo, 15% of ESE |
full body scan yields how many rad? | 4,000 to 6,000 mrad |
name the 6 ways to reduce pt dose | minimize unnecessary exams, no repeats, use high kV and low mA, use a fast IR, proper positioning, shield |
period of major organigenesis for enbryo | wk 2-10 |
early effects for embryo weeks 2-10 | skeletal |
late effects for embryo weeks 2-10 | neurologic |
if a response occurs during 2nd and 3rd trimester, what response is most likely? | childhood malignancy |
whats steps must be taken if am exposure is made on a pregnant woman? | estimate fetal dose, determine gestation stage, consider termination, consider 10-25 rad rule |
MPD | maximum permissabe dose, small risk |
how do we calculate cumulative lifetime exposure? | 10 MSV X age or 1000 mrem X age |
occupational dose limit for the lens of the eye | 150 mSV or 15 rem |
occupational dose limit annual effective dose | 50 mSV or 5000mrem |

embryo or fetal exposure dose limit per month | .5 mSV or 50 mrem |
formula for exposure | rate X time ex. 250mR/hr X 2.5 min |
