Detailed rationales included
1. The primary goal of radiation protection is to:
A. Increase image brightness
B. Prevent unnecessary radiation exposure while maintaining image quality
C. Eliminate all radiation use
D. Replace all imaging with MRI
Answer: B
Rationale:
Radiation protection focuses on minimizing exposure (ALARA principle) while still obtaining
diagnostic-quality images.
2. ALARA stands for:
A. Always Limit All Radiation Access
B. As Low As Reasonably Achievable
C. Average Level of Annual Radiation Absorption
D. Advanced Linear Atomic Radiation Application
Answer: B
3. The three principles of radiation protection include:
A. Time, distance, shielding
B. Heat, light, sound
C. Voltage, current, resistance
D. Speed, angle, pressure
Answer: A
4. Increasing distance from a radiation source:
A. Increases exposure
B. Decreases exposure significantly
, C. Has no effect
D. Doubles exposure
Answer: B
5. The inverse square law states:
A. Radiation decreases proportionally with distance squared increase
B. Radiation increases with distance
C. Radiation is constant regardless of distance
D. Radiation doubles every meter
Answer: A
6. Lead aprons are used for:
A. Enhancing image quality
B. Shielding against scatter radiation
C. Increasing beam intensity
D. Improving patient comfort only
Answer: B
7. Occupational dose limits are set to:
A. Encourage unlimited exposure
B. Prevent deterministic effects and reduce stochastic risk
C. Improve image resolution
D. Increase workflow speed
Answer: B
8. The most radiosensitive cells are:
A. Muscle cells
