Exam 1 RAD201
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| ALARA syn | ORP (optamization of radiation protection) |
| Atomic Number of Bone | 13.8 |
| Exposure (X) | Coulomb/kg | Measures ionization in air |
| Absorbed Dose (D) | Gray (Gy) Energy absorbed per kg of tissue; 1 Gy = 1 J/kg |
| Equivalent Dose (EqD) | Sievert (Sv) Accounts for type of radiation (WR factor) |
| Effective Dose (EFD) | Sievert (Sv) Accounts for tissue weighting factor (WT) |
| BERT | Background Equivalent Radiation Time |
| Collective Effective Dose (S): | 𝑆 = Average Dose × Number of people |
| Ionizing Radiation: | X-rays, Gamma Rays, Alpha Particles, Beta Particles, Neutrons |
| Nonionizing radiation | radio waves, microwaves, visible light |
| Photoelectric Effect: | inner electron ejected → creates photoelectron + characteristic photon |
| Compton Scattering: | outer electron ejected → scatter in all directions |
| Atomic Number : Lithium fluoride (Lif) | 5.9 |
| Coherent/Elastic Scattering: | : low-energy photons → vibrate atom, little energy transfer |
| WR ( Radiation Weighing Factors ) Alpha Particles: | 20 |
