charged particles by removing orbital electrons from the atom of normal matter through which
it passes.
Millisievert (Msv) - correct answer Equal to 1/1000 Of A Sievert.
BERT Method Advantages - correct answer It Does Not Imply Radiation Risk; It Is Simply A
Means For Comparison.
Nonionizing Radiation - correct answer A type of radiation that does not have enough energy to
remove electrons from atoms.
Subatomic Radiation - correct answer Radiation that involves particles smaller than atoms.
Ultrasonic Radiation - correct answer Sound waves with frequencies above the upper limit of
human hearing.
Radiation Monitoring - correct answer The process of measuring radiation exposure to ensure
safety and compliance with regulations.
Stochastic Effects - correct answer Effects of radiation that occur by chance and whose
probability is proportional to the dose of radiation received.
Dose Limits for Exposure - correct answer Regulatory limits set for the maximum amount of
radiation exposure allowed for individuals.
X-ray Breast Imaging - correct answer Methods and radiation safety aspects related to imaging
of the breast using X-rays.
Management of Patient Radiation Dose - correct answer Strategies to minimize radiation
exposure to patients during X-ray procedures.
Cell Biology Overview - correct answer A summary of the fundamental concepts related to the
structure and function of cells.
,Molecular and Cellular Radiation Biology - correct answer Study of the effects of radiation on
molecular structures and cellular functions.
Early Tissue Reactions - correct answer Immediate effects of radiation exposure that can affect
organ systems.
Late Tissue Reactions - correct answer Delayed effects of radiation exposure that can manifest
in organ systems over time.
Radiation Protection Equipment Design - correct answer The process of designing equipment to
minimize radiation exposure.
Imaging Personnel Radiation Dose Management - correct answer Strategies to minimize
radiation exposure to personnel involved in diagnostic X-ray procedures.
Radioisotopes - correct answer Isotopes of elements that emit radiation and can be used in
medical applications.
Radiation - correct answer An innate part of our environment.
Patient Comprehension - correct answer Provides an answer that is easy for the patient to
comprehend.
Radiographer Response to Radiation Inquiry - correct answer Respond by using an estimation
based on the comparison of radiation received from the X-ray to natural background radiation
received.
ALARA Principle - correct answer Selection of technical exposure factors for all medical imaging
procedures should always follow ALARA to minimize radiation exposure.
Radiation-Induced Cancer - correct answer Radiation-induced cancer does not appear to have a
dose level below which individuals would have no chance of developing this disease.
Cardinal Principles of Radiation Protection - correct answer Include time, distance, and
shielding.
ALARA Program Responsibility - correct answer The Radiation Safety Officer is directly
responsible for the execution, enforcement, and maintenance of the ALARA program.
Radiation Dose Measurement Difficulty - correct answer Difficult to answer because the
received dose is specified in a number of different units of measure and the scientific units for
radiation dose are normally not comprehensible by a patient.
X-Rays - correct answer A form of ionizing radiation.
Radiation Exposure Measurement Unit - correct answer Coulomb per kilogram is used to
measure radiation exposure in the metric international system of units.
, Pediatric Imaging Awareness Organization - correct answer Founded in 2007 to raise awareness
of the need for dose reduction protocols by promoting pediatric-specified scan protocols.
Justification of Imaging Procedures - correct answer Determined by the diagnostic efficacy.
Public Radiation Explanation Method - correct answer BERT is a method of explaining radiation
to the public.
Image Gently Pledge - correct answer Includes making the Image Gently message a priority in
staff communications each year.
Image Gently Pledge - correct answer Includes reviewing protocol recommendations and
implementing adjustments to practice processes.
Image Gently Pledge - correct answer Includes communicating openly with parents.
Radiation Safety Officer - correct answer Professionally charged with the execution,
enforcement, and maintenance of the ALARA program.
Natural Background Radiation - correct answer Radiation that is naturally present in the
environment.
Radiation Dose Units - correct answer Radiation dose is specified in different units of measure.
Patient Information on Radiation - correct answer Patients should receive comprehensible
information about radiation dose.
Ionizing Radiation - correct answer Radiation that has enough energy to remove tightly bound
electrons from atoms.
Environmental Radiation - correct answer Radiation that occurs naturally in the environment.
Diagnostic Efficacy - correct answer Basis for determining whether an imaging procedure or
practice is justified.
ALARA Concept - correct answer As low as reasonably achievable, a principle for minimizing
radiation exposure.
Team Approach To Patient Care - correct answer Various participants assume responsibility for
their areas of expertise, emphasize the importance of communication throughout the team,
and rotate as the person in charge of the team.
Best Overall Measure of Biologic Effects of Ionizing Radiation - correct answer Effective Dose
Risk Acceptance - correct answer Typically, people are more willing to accept a risk if they
perceive that the potential benefit to be obtained is greater than the risk involved.
Radiation-Induced Malignant Disease - correct answer It appears that no safe dose level exists
for radiation-induced malignant disease.
