Radiation Protection Exam with Complete
Solutions| Latest Update
Which of the following radiation quantities use the same unit of measure
1. Effective dose and equivalent dose
2. Exposure and effective dose
3. Absorbed dose and equivalent dose
A. 1 only
B. 2 only
C. 3 only
D. 1, 2, and 3 D
What is more sensitive and OSL or a TLD OSL
Describe an OSL Durable
Has aluminum oxide
Has multiple filters
Have to be sent in to be read
Must be read by a laser
Describe a TLD Chemical based
,lithium Fluoride
can be reused
has copper, tin, and aluminum filters
Describe Compton scatter outer-shell electron
comes from patient
Affects techs
higher kVp is higher scatter
What is somatic damage results of excessive occupational radiation exposure for early
pioneers and excessive exposure of patients
Does absorption increase or decrease within more thickness increase
What does kVp control penetrating power, quantity, energy, and quality
Alpha particles: have lots of energy, can be damaging, are not very penetrating
Beta particles: penetrate deeper than alpha, are not as penetrating as x-ray, can be shielded
by wood, have less energy than alpha
What is absorbed dose the amount of kinetic energy per unit mass that has been absorbed
in a material due to its interaction with ionizing radiation
, What is absorbed dose measure in Gy
What is equivalent dose Attempts to specify numerically the difference in transferred
energy and therefore biologic harm produced by differentiations types of radiation
What is equivalent dose measured in Sieverts (Sv)
what is effective Dose takes into account the dose for all types of ionizing radiation to
various irradiated organs or tissues in the human body
what is effective dose measured in Sv
How is RAD converted to sV Multiply by 100
How is sV converted to RAD Divide by 100
How is REM converted to Gy Multiply by 100
How is Gy converted to REM Divide by 100
