1. X-rays are ANS >>> a form of ionizing radiation
2. When passing through matter, ionizing radiation does what ANS >>>
produces nega- tively and positively charged particles (ions) that cause harm to
biological tissues
https://www.stuvia.com/en-us/user/techgrades
, 3. What are the six consequences of ionization in human cells ANS >>> -
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
4. Effective measures employed by radiation workers to safeguard patients,
personnel, and the general public from unnecessary exposure to ionizing
radiation ANS >>> radiation protection
5. Electromagnetic radiation in the form of waves ANS >>> radiant energy
6. How is radiant energy emitted from the tube ANS >>> in form of waves (or
particles)
https://www.stuvia.com/en-us/user/techgrades
, 7. How can we safely control the use of radiant energy ANS >>> by using
knowledge of radiation induced hazards gained many years ago, and by
employing effective methods to limit or eliminate those hazards; selecting the
right equipment and technique
8. The use for safeguarding against significant and continued radiation expo-
sure is based on ANS >>> evidence of harmful biological effects
9. Any radiation exposure that does not benefit a person in terms of diagnostic
information obtained for the clinical management of medical needs or any
radiation exposure that does not enhance the quality of the study ANS >>>
unnecessary exposure to ionizing radiation
10. Degree to which a diagnostic study reveals the presence or absence of
disease in the patient ANS >>> Diagnostic efficacy
11. Risk (in general terms) ANS >>> the probability of injury, ailment, or death
resulting from an activity
12. Risk (in the medical industry) ANS >>> the possibility of inducing a radiogenic
cancer or genetic defect after irradiation
13. BERT (Background Equivalent Radiation Time) ANS >>> -method used to
reduce patient fears and anxiety
