production of atomic energy in the interest of national security? - ANSWER//Nuclear
Regulatory Commission
Which value represents the annual maximum dose limit (in millisieverts - mSv) for
exposure to the extremities in medical imaging personnel? - ANSWER//500 mSv
Which is the maximum allowable exposure to the embryo or fetus each month? -
ANSWER//0.5 millisieverts (mSv).
Which procedures should imaging personnel perform in order to reduce exposure time
during fluoroscopic procedures? (Select the three that apply.) - ANSWER//Use the last
image hold feature.
Use the pulsed progressive mode.
Reset the cumulative timer before procedure.
Which term means the loss or change of a nitrogenous base in the DNA chain? -
ANSWER//Mutation
What is the advantage of using a high kilovolts peak (kVp), low milliamperage seconds
(mAs) technique with digital radiography (DR) systems? - ANSWER//Patient exposure
decreases

provide protection for the gonads of a male patient? - ANSWER//AP
AP Oblique right Oblique
l5-S1 lateral spot
Which type of interaction results in the production of bremsstrahlung x-rays? -
ANSWER//A projectile electron slows down near the nucleus of the target atom
Which human cell is the most resistant to the effects of radiation? - ANSWER//Neurons
For which purpose is gonadal shielding recommended? - ANSWER//To reduce the
probability of genetic mutations.
What is the primary purpose of beam filtration? - ANSWER//Protect patient from low
energy xrays

ANSWER//2.5 mm Al.
When a pregnant patient must undergo a radiographic procedure, which practices will
minimize radiation exposure? (Select the three that apply.) - ANSWER//Select
appropriate exposure factors for the part being imaged.
