what statements are correct regarding the link between The link has been demonstrated in animal studies .
radiation and genetic effects Increased risk to humans cannot be predicted with respect to an individual.
The changes in kilovoltage (kVp) will result in the greatest Increase kVp by 30%
reduction of patient dose, when milliampere-seconds (mAs)
is adjusted to compensate for the change
The following image receptor (IR) system speeds will result Faster speed IR system
in the lowest patient dose
The primary purpose of using gonad shields reduce the likelihood of genetic effects
Are gonad shields Contact and shadow
gonad shielding should be used when the gonads are within 5 cm of the radiation field

the greatest cause of unnecessary radiation to patients that repeat exposures
can be controlled by the limited operator is
the limited operator can reduce repeat exposure clearly instructing patients
how does the x-ray beam restriction minimize patient it limits the radiation field to the area of interest
exposure
what is the device that allows the limited operator to vary collimator
the size of the radiation field
how does filtration reduce patient exposure removes longer-wavelength photons
The National Council on Radiation Protection and 2.5 mm Al equiv
Measurements(NCRP) recommendation for the amount of
total filtration

Three principal methods used to protect limited operators time, distance, and shielding
from unnecessary radiation exposure
The following is not a type of personal radiation shielding Shadow
personnel shielding must be worn on the rare occasion scattered radiation from the patient
during which the limited operator may need to remain in
the radiographic room during an exposure to assist the
patient in maintaining the proper position. What is the
source of the greatest radiation hazard under this
circumstance.?
the term for radiation the escapes from the x-ray tube leakage radiation
housing
why are limited operators prohibited from activities that they are considered occupationally exposed individuals
result in direct exposure to the primary x-ray beam
