Radiation Biology 2024/2025 Exam
Questions with Detailed Verified
Answers (100% Correct Answers) |
Already Graded A+
What are the consequences of ionization in the human cell? - 🧠ANSWER
✔✔Creation of unstable atoms, production of free electrons, production of
low-energy x-ray photons, creation of reactive free radicals capable of
producing substances poisonous to the cell, creation of new biologic
molecules detrimental to the living cell, injury to the cell that may manifest
itself as abnormal function or loss of function. (box 1-1 on page 2)
When is medical radiation exposure considered unnecessary? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔When it doesn't benefit the patient- examples: lack of
collimation, wrong exam, repeats.
When it doesn't enhance the quality of the study

, How can the background equivalent radiation time (BERT) method be used
to eliminate a patient's fears about medical radiation exposure? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔The BERT method compares the amount of radiation
received by the patient with natural background radiation received over a
specific period of time. BERT helps emphasize that radiation is an innate
part of our environment and it is easy for patients to understand.
Describe how radiographers can use the ALARA concept in the
performance of their daily responsibilities? - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔Radiographers
should use the least amount of time as possible, stand back as far as you
can, use correct SID for patients, and shield yourself and patients for all
exams (if possible).
How does implementation of the TRACE Program improve patient safety? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔The TRACE Program improves patient safety by allowing a
greater radiation safety understanding through patient and community
education
How will a patient benefit from standardized radiation dose reporting? -
🧠ANSWER ✔✔All exams need to be dictated into every radiologic report.
This will help the physician know if additional radiologic procedures are
advisable with having the patient radiation dose history in hand. (page 11)
