IBHRE CEPS RADIOLOGY AND EP
EQUIPMENT TEST QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Non-ionizing radiation: electromagnetic waves emitted by the sun and various
technological equipment.
The most prevalent type of radiation
UV light, visible light, infrared radiation, radiofrequency radiation, and
microwaves - ANSWER Examples of Non-Ionizing Radiation
The sun, radioactive materials, and high-energy electronic devices (such as X-
rays) emit ionizing radiation, which can cause atoms to lose electrons and
become charged.
Alpha, beta particles, gamma rays, and X-rays - ANSWER Examples of
Ionizing Radiation
Lead apron - answer Material for shields
ALARA: As low as reasonably achievable. - ANSWER Maintaining radiation
exposures at the lowest amount to achieve a useable image.
Photons are energy "packets" without mass or charge that travel at the speed of
light.
Rad - Answer Radiation dose, unit of absorbed dose
1/100 - 1 rad =? Gray.
Radiation - Answer Energy is emitted and propagated across matter or space,
exhibiting both wave and particle behavior.
