, Thyroid uptake %= Thyroid counts-patient background
What is the formula for
counts(thigh)/ capsule counts- room background counts
thyroid uptake %?
X100%
Refers to the fact that relative biologic effectiveness
different types of radiation
produce different biologic
effects.... the ratio of an
absorbed dose of xrays or
gammma rays to the
amount of any other form
of radiation that is needed
to produce the same
biologic effect.
Formula for relative RBE= Dose of x-ray or gamma radiation/ equivalent dose
biologic effectiveness? of radiation in question
associated with exposure to Stochastic Effects
low level radiation over a
prolonged period of time.
Long term exposure to love
level rad can lead to
leukemia and other forms of
cancer.
the result of a high dose of Non Stochastic/ Deterministic Effects
radiation over a short
period of time. These are
directly proportional to the
amount of rad exposure.
As Low As Reasonably ALARA
Achievable
If the distance from a 1/4
radioactive source is
doubled, the radition
exposure is _____ of that at
the original distance.
, the amount of radiation it Roentgen
takes to produce 1
electrostatic charge in 1cc
of dry air at standard
temperature and pressure.
the unit of measure applied REM
to radiation exposure in
humans... calculated by
multiplying the number of
rads by the RBE.
____ can be measured in RAD (radiation absorbed dose)
types of matter other than
air.
Member of the general 100 mrem
public should be exposed
to no greater than _____
millirem(mrem) per year.

who declares pregnancy
may only be exposed to
____mrem throughout her
nine month pregnancy.
Maximum permissible dose 15,000mrem
to the eye is ____mrem per
year.
