Nuclear Medicine Final
Exam Questions and
Answers
Matter
Ans- Anything that occupies space.
The fundamental, complex building blocks of matter are atoms and molecules.
Energy
Ans- Ability to do work.
Measured in joules (J) in SI system.
In Radiology eV is used.
Potential Energy
,Kinetic Energy
Chemical Energy
Electrical Energy
Thermal Energy
Nuclear Energy
Electromagnetic Energy
Ans- Different Types of Energy:
Radiation
Ans- The transfer of energy.
The energy emitted and transferred through space.
Ionizing Radiation
Ans- A special type of radiation that includes x-rays.
Ionizing radiation is any type of radiation that is capable of removing an orbital
electron from the atom with which it interacts.
This type of interaction between radiation and matter is called ionization.
