- answer-Electromagnetic radiation ,Penetrate or pass, shadow-like
Xrays, also known as ___ , are a photographic image that can be seen on
Film/screen.
- answer-Xrays
How are xray images produced?
- answer-By directing Xray beams, invisible straight lines traveling at constant
speed and made visible by processing the image.
How are radiographs used??
- answer-To help dentists prevent, monitor and diagnose potential oral health care
issues in a patients mouth before a major problem occurs.
How are xrays produced?
- answer-by a machine whose source is energy through electricity. Xrays are
invisible beams that travel in a straight line that can pass through soft tissue and be
absorbed by dense tissue.
How can radiation effect the body?
- answer-It can effect body tissues and cells that can carry hereditary materials for
future generations
What are the most common type of xrays?diagnose:

recommendations for acceptable levels of radiation exposure.
What are MPDs?
- answer-Maximum permissible dose and categorized for gen pop, occup. worker
and pregnant women. represents greatest amount of radiation exposure accepted as
not producing significant harmful biological effects.
Annual radiation dose limit for adults
- answer-5 rems (0.05Sv)
How is radiation dose measured?
- answer-Measures how much energy is absorbed when something or someone is
exposed to Xrays. The absorption of energy can cause damage to a person
2 common ways radiation is measured
- answer-At pt skin surface (entrance surface air Kerma) and effective dose.
How is radiation dose Described?
- answer-Using the quantity effective dose, expressed in millisievert (mSv)
What is the fatal dose of an Xray exam?
- answer-0.3 uSv
Total effective dose should not exceed ___
in a year
- answer-0.1 Rem or 1 mSv
For Natural Background Radiation , a person can be exposed from ___ every year
