|---|---|
| Which of the following is a category of white blood cell that is essential in fighting infections? | Granulocytes |
| Early tissue reactions are | not common in diagnostic imaging. |
| A single absorbed dose of 2 Gyt can cause a radiation-induced skin erythema within | 24 to 48 hours after irradiation. |
| For persons with hematopoietic syndrome, survival time shortens as | the radiation dose increases. |
| The prodromal stage of acute radiation syndrome is actually the | beginning stage. |
| Laboratory experiments with mice conclude that cataracts may be caused by doses of ionizing radiation as low as | 0.1 Gyt. |
| The term linear nonthreshold relationship implies that the biologic response to ionizing radiation is | directly proportional to the dose all the way down to levels approaching zero. |
| Radium decays with a half-life of | 1622 years. |
| Genetic mutations at the molecular level are called | point mutations. |
| To assess the magnitude and severity of late effects on the exposed population from the 1986 nuclear power station accident at Chernobyl | long-term follow-up studies are necessary. |
| Mutations in genes and DNA that occur at random as natural phenomena are called | spontaneous mutations. |
| Which of the following groups is run by the government of Japan, primarily to study Japanese atomic bomb survivors? | |
| The effective dose (EfD) occupational limit for the lens of the eye is | 15 mSv. |
| Which of the following terms involves a random effect of ionizing radiation? | Stochastic event |
| Which of the following agencies was previously known as the Atomic Energy Commission? | NRC |
| Determine the cumulative effective dose (CumEfD) limit to the whole body of an occupationally exposed person who is 46 years old. | 460 mSv |
