6. Ifa patient asksa radiographer a question about how much radiation he orshe will
j j jjj j j j j j j jjj jjj j jjj j j j jjj j jjj
receive from a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer can
jjj jjj jjj j j j j j jjj jjj j j j
a. respond byusing anestimation basedonthe comparison ofradiation received jjj j jjj j j j j j j jjj jjj j j j j
from the x-ray to natural background radiation received.
jjj jjj jjj jjj j j j j jjj j j j
b. avoid the patient’s question by changing the subject. jjj j jjj jjj j jjj j

7. Why should the selection of technical exposure factors for allmedical imaging
j jjj jjj jjj j jjj jjj jjj jjj j jjj
procedures always follow ALARA?
jjj jjj j j j j j j
a. Sothat referring physicians ordering imaging procedures donot have to
j j j j j j j j jjj jjj jjj j j jjj
accept responsibility for patient radiation safety.
