d. Student Radiologic Technologist
ANS: C
10. Why Is A Question Concerning The Amount Of Radiation A Patient Will Receive During A
Specific X-Ray Procedure Difficult To ANSwer?
1. Because The Received Dose Is Specified In A Number Of Different Units Of Measure.
2. Because The Scientific Units For Radiation Dose Are Normally Not Comprehensible By A
Patient.
