RADIATION PROTECTION elseiver 8th edition chpt 1-4 for test 1
1. chapter 1
A patient may elect to assume a relatively small statistical risk of exposure to ionizing radiation to obtain essential diagnostic medical
information when
1. illness occurs
2. injury occurs
3. a specific imaging procedure for health screening purposes is prudent: D.
1, 2 and 3
2. effective measures employed by radiation workers to safeguard patients, personnel, and the general public from unnecessary
exposure to ionizing radiation defines:: Radiation protection
3. which of the following is a method that can be used to answer patients' questions about the amount of radiation received from a
radiographic procedure?: BERT
4. The term optimization for radiation protection (ORP) is synonymous with the term...: As low as reasonably achievable (ALARA)
5. Monitoring and reporting of patient dose for computed tomography and interventional procedures can lead to:: a reduction in
patient radiation dose
6. the amount of ionizing radiation produced in the air when ionizing radiation is present is known as: exposure
7. the degree to which the diagnostic study accurately reveals the presence of disease in the patient while adhering to radiation safety
guidelines defines which of the following terms: diagnostic efficacy
8. the millisievert (mSv) is equal to:: 1/1000 of a sievert (Sv)
9. an effective radiation safety program requires a firm commitment to radiation safety by:
1.facilities providing imaging services
2. radiation workers
3. patients: 1 and 2 only
10. if a child receives a dose of radiation in a CT scan where and adult protocols are used, the child, because of being smaller in size, will
receive a: higher effective dose than would an adult, but the image produced will be of acceptable quality 11. Chapter 2 the
amount of radiation actually received by a patient from a diagnostic x-ray procedure may be indicated in terms such as:
1. entrance skin dose
2. bone marrow dose
3. gonadal dose: 1, 2 and 3
12. which of the following processes is the foundation of the interactions of x-rays with human tissues?: Ionization
1/3
