Question:
Absorption
Answer:
When all of the x-ray energy is absorbed by the
ejected electron
Question:
acute radiation syndrome
Answer:
Radiation sickness that occurs in
humans after whole-body doses of 1 Gy (100 rad) or more of ionizing radiation delivered over a
short time not seen in diagnostic imaging
Question:

Answer:
(radiation exposure)As Low As Reasonably
Achievable

Answer:
absorption of the x-ray beam in matter, usually the
human body
Question:
Automatic Exposure Control (AEC)
Answer:
feature/device that
determines radiation exposure during radiography in most x-ray imaging systems
Question:
Back-up time
Answer:
when the exposure timer is manually set by the
operator to a time greater than the anticipated exposure time
Question:
Bergonie-Tribondeau law
Answer:
principle that states that the
radiosensitivity of cells is directly proportional to their reproductive activity and inversely
proportional to their degree of differentiation
