Consequences Of Ionization In Human Cells - ANSWERSCreation Of Unstable Atoms, Production
Of Free Electrons, Creation Of Highly Reactive Free Radicals Capable Of Producing Substances
Poisonous To The Cell, Creation Of New Biologic Molecules Detrimental To The Living Cell, Injury
To The Cell That May Manifest Itself As Abnormal Function Or Loss Of Function.
Ionizing Radiation - ANSWERSA form of radiation that is capable of creating electrically charged
particles by removing orbital electrons from the atom of normal matter through which it passes.
Millisievert (Msv) - ANSWERSEqual to 1/1000 Of A Sievert.
BERT Method Advantages - ANSWERSIt Does Not Imply Radiation Risk; It Is Simply A Means For
Comparison.
Nonionizing Radiation - ANSWERSA type of radiation that does not have enough energy to
remove electrons from atoms.
Subatomic Radiation - ANSWERSRadiation that involves particles smaller than atoms.
Ultrasonic Radiation - ANSWERSSound waves with frequencies above the upper limit of human
hearing.
Radiation Monitoring - ANSWERSThe process of measuring radiation exposure to ensure safety
and compliance with regulations.
Stochastic Effects - ANSWERSEffects of radiation that occur by chance and whose probability is
proportional to the dose of radiation received.
,Dose Limits for Exposure - ANSWERSRegulatory limits set for the maximum amount of radiation
exposure allowed for individuals.
X-ray Breast Imaging - ANSWERSMethods and radiation safety aspects related to imaging of the
breast using X-rays.
Management of Patient Radiation Dose - ANSWERSStrategies to minimize radiation exposure to
patients during X-ray procedures.
Cell Biology Overview - ANSWERSA summary of the fundamental concepts related to the
structure and function of cells.
Molecular and Cellular Radiation Biology - ANSWERSStudy of the effects of radiation on
molecular structures and cellular functions.
Early Tissue Reactions - ANSWERSImmediate effects of radiation exposure that can affect organ
systems.

organ systems over time.
Radiation Protection Equipment Design - ANSWERSThe process of designing equipment to
minimize radiation exposure.
Imaging Personnel Radiation Dose Management - ANSWERSStrategies to minimize radiation
exposure to personnel involved in diagnostic X-ray procedures.
,Radioisotopes - ANSWERSIsotopes of elements that emit radiation and can be used in medical
applications.
Radiation - ANSWERSAn innate part of our environment.
Patient Comprehension - ANSWERSProvides an answer that is easy for the patient to
comprehend.
Radiographer Response to Radiation Inquiry - ANSWERSRespond by using an estimation based
on the comparison of radiation received from the X-ray to natural background radiation
received.
ALARA Principle - ANSWERSSelection of technical exposure factors for all medical imaging
procedures should always follow ALARA to minimize radiation exposure.
Radiation-Induced Cancer - ANSWERSRadiation-induced cancer does not appear to have a dose
level below which individuals would have no chance of developing this disease.
Cardinal Principles of Radiation Protection - ANSWERSInclude time, distance, and shielding.
ALARA Program Responsibility - ANSWERSThe Radiation Safety Officer is directly responsible for
the execution, enforcement, and maintenance of the ALARA program.
Radiation Dose Measurement Difficulty - ANSWERSDifficult to answer because the received
dose is specified in a number of different units of measure and the scientific units for radiation
dose are normally not comprehensible by a patient.
X-Rays - ANSWERSA form of ionizing radiation.
, Radiation Exposure Measurement Unit - ANSWERSCoulomb per kilogram is used to measure
radiation exposure in the metric international system of units.
Pediatric Imaging Awareness Organization - ANSWERSFounded in 2007 to raise awareness of
the need for dose reduction protocols by promoting pediatric-specified scan protocols.
Justification of Imaging Procedures - ANSWERSDetermined by the diagnostic efficacy.
Public Radiation Explanation Method - ANSWERSBERT is a method of explaining radiation to the
public.
Image Gently Pledge - ANSWERSIncludes making the Image Gently message a priority in staff
communications each year.
Image Gently Pledge - ANSWERSIncludes reviewing protocol recommendations and
implementing adjustments to practice processes.
Image Gently Pledge - ANSWERSIncludes communicating openly with parents.
Radiation Safety Officer - ANSWERSProfessionally charged with the execution, enforcement, and
maintenance of the ALARA program.
Natural Background Radiation - ANSWERSRadiation that is naturally present in the environment.
Radiation Dose Units - ANSWERSRadiation dose is specified in different units of measure.
Patient Information on Radiation - ANSWERSPatients should receive comprehensible
information about radiation dose.
