The advantages of the BERT method are

does not imply risk just comparison, gives radiation education mentioning background radiation for patients to easily comprehend.

Why is a question concerning the amount of radiation a patient will receive during a specific x-ray procedure difficult to answer?

1. Because the received dose is specified in a number of different units of measure. 2. Because the scientific units for radiation dose are normally not comprehensible by a patient.

The term as low as reasonable achievable (ALARA) is synonymous with the term

optimization for radiation protection (ORP).

Typically, people are more willing to accept a risk if they perceive that the potential benefit to be obtained is

greater than the risk involved.

Regarding exposure to ionizing radiation, patients who are educated to understand the medical benefit of an imaging procedure are more likely to

suppress any radiation phobia and be willing to assume a small chance of possible biologic damage.

a method of explaining radiation to the public?

During the process of coherent scattering, an incident low-energy x-ray photon interacts with

an atom and may transfer its energy by causing some or all of the electrons of the atom to momentarily vibrate and radiate energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.

X-rays are carriers of

human-made electromagnetic energy.
