Radiation Protection

QuestionAnswer
According to the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP), the monthly limit for gestational dose-equivalent limit for embryo/fetus is 5 mSv p. 135
For a mobile radiographic unit the exposure switch should be a two-stage type? T/F False. has to be a dead man switch p 135
What is the most radio sensitive cell in the human body? lymphocytes p 136
The interaction between the ionizing radiation and the target molecule that is most likely to occur is the indirect effect p 136
irradiation of water molecules within the body and their resulting breakdown is termed radiolysis p 136
occupational radiation monitoring is required when is is possible that the individual might receive more than what dosage? one-tenth the annual dose limit p 126
What contributes most to the occupational exposure dose? Compton Scatter p 137
The xray interaction with matter that is responsible for the majority of scatter radiation reaching the IR is Compton Scatter p 137
a thermoluminescent dosimetry system would use which of the following crystals? Lithium fluoride p 137
All of the following radiation-exposure responses exhibit a nonlinear threshold dose-response except leukemia p 138
What is recommended for a pregnant radiographer in regards to dosimeters? wear a second dosimeter under a lead apron p 138
Medical and dental radiation accounts for what percentage of human-made radiation? 90% p 138
What is the minimum lead requirement for lead aprons according to NRCP? .5 mm Pb or equivalent p 139
Primary radiation barriers must be at least how high? 7 ft p 139
what is the term used to describe xray photon interaction with matter and the transference of part of the photon's energy to matter? scattering p 139
the annual dose limit for occupationally exposed individuals is valid for beta. x and gamma p 139
What unit of measure is used to express ionizing radiation dose to biologic material Rem (Sv) p 140
The largest amount of diagnostic xray absorption is most likely to occur in what tissues? Bone p 141
The reduction in the intensity of an xray beam as it passes through material is termed attenuation p 140
Primary radiation barriers usually require which thickness of shielding? 1/16" lead p 142

Aluminum filtration has its greatest effect on low energy xray photons p 143
Which acute radiation syndrome requires the largest exposure before any effects become apparent? Central nervous system p 143
An increase in the total filtration of the xray beam will increase beam HVL p 147
the photoelectric effect is an interaction between an xray photon and an inner-shell electron p 146

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
