Limited scope of radiography practice exam..

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 repeat exposures
that 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 collimator
vary 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 time, distance, and shielding
operators from unnecessary radiation exposure


The following is not a type of personal radiation Shadow
shielding


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


distance, as a method used to limit operator exposure, the operator should maximize the distance from the source during an exposure

According to the Bergonie-Tribondeau law, the embryonic tissue cells
following types of cells are most radiosensitive


Type of x-ray photon interaction with the body is Photoelectric
primarily responsible for the radiation dose absorbed
by the patient
