Terms in this set (34)



LD 50/30 Refers to the radiation dose expected to cause death in 50% of an
exposed population within 30 days; it is used to estimate radiation lethality.


High kVp techniques Produce more scatter radiation, which results in lower radiographic
contrast and more shades of gray on the image.


Prodromal stage The first phase of acute radiation syndrome and includes symptoms like
nausea and vomiting shortly after exposure.


Collimation The most effective and commonly used method of beam restriction and
significantly reduces patient dose and scatter radiation.


Increasing SID Decreases beam intensity at the image receptor, so mAs must be
increased to maintain proper exposure.


Atrophy The shrinkage or reduction in size of tissues or organs following high
radiation doses due to cell loss.
