lead walls and doors (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 275)
What does a non-linear threshold dose response curve demonstrate?
response is not proportional to dose, but a dose must be received in order for a response to occur (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 236)
What type of effects are cancer, leukemia, and genetic defects?
stochastic or probabilistic effects (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 235)
What is the main difference between the direct and indirect effect on molecular effects?
direct interacts directly with the key molecule or another protein; indirect takes places away from the key molecule and those free radicals interact with the key molecules (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 239)
What is the percent that linearity must be within?
must not exceed 10% (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 267)
ability to measure radiation doses as low as 1 mrem, tamper proof plastic unaffected by heat, can be read out quarterly, multiple readouts (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 289-90)
