Question
Answer
show responses that are proportional to the radiation dose received, but a dose below the threshold, no response effect is likely to occur (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 235)  
🗑
show used to indicate responses like radiation induced leukemia, cancer, and genetic effects (Lange Radiography Prep Book, pg. 235)  
🗑

🗑
What does a non-linear threshold dose response curve demonstrate?   show
🗑
show response is not proportional to the dose, but any amount of dose could cause an effect, pg. 235)  
🗑
