RADIOLOGY 101 Chapter 1 Test
Procedures Questions and Answers
Why should the selection of technical exposure factors for all medical
imaging procedures always follow ALARA?
a. Because radiation-induced cancer does not appear to have a dose level
below which individuals would have no chance of developing this
disease.
b. Because radiation-induced cancer does have a dose level at which
individuals would have a chance of developing this disease.
C. So that radiographers and radiologists do not have to accept
responsibility for patient radiation safety.
d. So that referring physicians ordering imaging procedures do not have
to accept responsibility for patient radiation safety.
Verified Answer -A
The cardinal principles of radiation protection include which of the
following?
1. Time
2. Distance
3. Shielding
Verified Answer -1, 2, and 3
In a hospital setting, which of the following professionals is expressly
charged by the hospital administration with being directly responsible for
the execution, enforcement, and maintenance of the ALARA program?
a Assistant administrator of the facility
, b. Student radiologic technologist
c. Radiation Safety Officer
d. Chief of staff
Verified Answer -C
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
3. Because the patient should not receive any information about radiation
dose
Verified Answer -1 and 2
X-rays are a form of which of the following kinds of radiation?
a. lonizing
b. Nonionizing
c. Internal
d. Environmental
Verified Answer -A
What unit is used to measure radiation exposure in the metric
International System of Units?
a Milligray
b. Coulomb per kilogram
c. Millisievert
