RADT 465- Safety
ARRT registry review covering safety content
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the velocity of all electromagnetic radiation? | 3x10^8 m/s (186,000 miles/s) (Radiography Prep. 237) |
| Bremsstrahlung (Brems) comprises what % of the primary x-ray beam? | 70-90% (Radiography Prep. 240) |
| Dose Response: Linear response relationship with dose? | Proportional with dose (Radiography Prep. 244) |
| Dose Response: Nonlinear response relationship with dose? | Not proportional with dose (Radiography Prep. 244) |
| Dose Response: Threshold response occurs when? | A dose must be received (Radiography Prep. 244) |
| Dose Response: Non-threshold dosage? | No safe dosage (Radiography Prep. 244) |
| Describe early effects. | Appear a short time after exposure Usually High dose, short time period Shouldn't be seen in diagnostic radiography (Radiography Prep. 244) |
| Describe late effects. | Can appear years after exposure Carcinogenesis Cataractogenesis Embryologic effect Life span shortening (Radiography Prep. 244) |
| Define Nonstochastic/deterministic effects. | Characterized by non-linear dose responses and are associated with a safe threshold below where no effect is observed Threshold Nonlinear Include all early effects Includes some later effects (Radiography Prep. 245) |
| Define Stochastic/probabilistic effects. | No threshold Linear Genetic effects Cancer Includes most late effects (Radiography Prep. 245) |
| State the Law of Bergonie and Tribondeau. | Very young, unidentified cells (nonspecific in structure and function), and cells having the most reproductive activity are highly radiosensitive (Radiography Prep. 246) |
| What's the direct effect? | Occurs when the ionizing particle interacts directly with the key molecule (DNA)/(RNA). Resulting in impaired function or cell death (Radiography Prep. 247) |
| What's the indirect effect? | When ionization takes place away from the DNA molecule, in cellular water. Free radicals from radiolysis (Radiography Prep. 247) |
| What is LET (Linear Energy Transfer)? | Radiation deposits energy as it passes through tissue. The rate which it occurs. As it increases so does its biologic damage. (Radiography Prep. 249) |
| Fetal irradiation (during the first 2 weeks of gestation) at what dose can cause embryonic resorption or spontaneous abortion? | 250 mGy/25 rad (Radiography Prep. 250) |
| What are 3 ways to reduce recently fertilized ovum risk? | Elective scheduling/10-day rule Patient questionnaire Posting (Radiography Prep. 251) |
| What is the most radiosensitive cell? | Lymphocyte (Radiography Prep. 250) |

| What are the 4 stages of ARS? | Prodromal Latent Manifest illness stage Recovery or death (Radiography Prep. 255) |
| What are 3 Beam restrictor types? | Aperture diaphragm Cone/Cylinder Collimator (Radiography Prep. 262) |
| Total filtration is composed of what 2 types of filtration? | Inherent + added filtration (Radiography Prep. 265) |
| What is the purpose of filtration? | Reduce patient skin dose (Radiography Prep. 265) |
| Tubes operating at >70 kV require how much mm AI equivalent of filtration? | 2.5mm AI equivalent (Radiography Prep. 266) |

| What is the dose limit for students under 18 years of age? | 1 mSv (Radiography Prep. 304) |
| What is the dose limit for skin, hands, feet? | 500 mSv (Radiography Prep. 304) |
| What is the dose limit for Lens of the Eye? | 150 mSv (Radiography Prep. 304) |
| What is the dose limit for Embryo/fetus per MONTH/ | 0.5 mSv (Radiography Prep. 304) |
| What is the dose limit for Embryo/fetus during entire gestation? | 5.0 mSv (Radiography Prep. 304) |
| What is the SI unit used to describe absorbed dose? | Gray (Gyt) (Radiography Prep. 304) |
| What is the SI unit of measure to describe effective dose? | Sievert (Sv) (Radiography Prep. 304) |
