, Why is scatter radiation a safety ***WRONG** It causes leakage radiation
concern? from the radiation source or equipment
I got WRONG
- It is the main source of radiation exposure
for patients and staff
- It is the primary beam of radiation from
the collider to the patient
- It causes leakage from the radiation
source or equipment
**WRONG*** Lead thyroid collar, cap, eye
As the circulating nurse, what protection, and humoral shield
