🗑
what are radiation protection guidelines based on   Late effects of radiation and on linear, nonthreshold dose-response relationship.  
🗑
how must epidemiologic studies be conducted to study effects of low dose radiation   Based on a large number of people exposed toa toxic substance.  
🗑
what effect was was caused by high doses in the early practices of radiology that caused callused, cracked and discolored skin on hands and forearms of radiologists   Radiodermatitis  
🗑
what type of stem cells are damaged by radiation   Lymphocytic stem cells.  
🗑
how long can effects be delayed in peripheral lymphocytes   20 years  
🗑
what responses are damage to circulating lymphocytes early or late   Chromosome damage  
🗑
low doses of radiation have been proven to cause what?   aberrations that may not be apparent until many years after radiation exposure.  
🗑
What can be caused as a late effect of irradiation of blood forming organs   Produce hematologic depression as an early response or leukemia as a late response.  
🗑
What is used principally to produce radionuclides for used in nuclear medicine.   Modern Cyclotron.  
🗑
What type of dose response are cataracts   Nonlinear,theshold  
🗑
What is the life shortening span for every rad   10 days  
🗑
What is the life shortening span for radiation workers   Life is shortened by only 12 days.  
🗑
Formula for relatice risk observed cases/expected cases.   realative risk= observed cases/expected cases.  
🗑
What is the theory of radiation hormesis   Suggest that very low radiation doses are beneficial.  
🗑
What is the only theory we practice   ALARA; as low as reasonably achievable.  
🗑
Relative risk factor of 1 indicates what   No risk at all.

Relative risk factor of 1.5 indicates what   frequency of late response is 50% higher in the irradiated population  
🗑
who/what determines the absolute risk of radiation-induced malignant disease   National Academy of Science(NAS) Committee on the Biologic Effects of Ionizing Radiation(BEIR)  
🗑
What is stochastic   One that has no dose threshold.  
🗑
What type of responses are all radiation induced malignancy   All the late effects  
🗑
How have radiation induced malignancy been observed   In experimental animals, and on the basis of these animal experiments, dose-response relationships have been developed.
