38
Q

Two types of radiation therapy

A

External beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
BRACHYTHERAPY

39
Q

Radiation source is far from the body

A

Teletherapy

40
Q

Radiation source is direct/near the tumor

A

BRACHYTHERAPY

41
Q

Two types of radiation

A

Particulate radiation
Electromagnetic radiation

42
Q

§ Radiation that travels in a space processing
either mass or charge or both
Processess high KE( kinetic energy)

A

Particulate radiation

43
Q

Radiation that travels in a wave form,
accompanied by electrical and magnetic
field

Possess potential energy

A

Electromagnetic radiation

44
Q

the distribution of electromagnetic
radiation according to energy

A

Electromagnetic spectrum

45
Q

Longer wavelength

A

RF
Infrared light
Visible light
UV

46
Q

ranging from the long waves through the
broad cast band to short waves and ultra short waves in radar
- used for transmissions of data, via modulation. Television, mobile phones, wireless networking and amateur
radio all use radio waves

A

Radio frequency

47
Q

these are produced by molecular
vibration and the excitation of the outer electrons of the
atom. Its heating effect utilized in Physical therapy.

A

Infrared light

48
Q

ranging from red, orange, yellow, green and
blue to violet
- transmitted by materials such as glass and steel - can be used in surgery as LASER

A

Visible light

49
Q

produced by the excitation of our electrons in
an atom
- it is higher that the frequency of ultraviolet coming
from the SUN. It is induced the human body tp produced Vit. D

A

Ultra Violet

50
Q

Shorter wave

A

X-ray
Gamma rays

51
Q

produced when the fast-moving electron
interact with a high atomic level
energy: 1 KeV – 50 MeV
Diagnostic: 25 kVp – 150 kVp

A

X-ray

52
Q

Emitted during Isomeric Transition in
radionuclides
no mass, no charge and only in Nuclear EMR.

A

Gamma rays

53
Q

Classifications of radiation according to its ionizing ability

A

Non-ionizing
Ionizing radiation

54
Q

radiation is not capable of ionization
(first 4 in EM spectrum/longer wavelength)

A

Non-ionizing radiation

55
Q

capable of ionization
a. X-ray
b. gamma ray
c. alpha
d. negatron
e. positron
f. neutron

A

Ionizing radiation

56
Q

Radiation interaction with matter

A

Compton interaction

Rayleigh’s scattering
Photoelectric effect
Pair production
Photodisintegration

57
Q

change in direction of photons caused by
the interaction between photons and matter
• No ionization, only excitation

A

Rayleigh scattering

58
Q

Electrons from the outer orbital shell are deflected by
the same electron causing to travel in a new direction
as scattered or secondary radiation
- most hazardous to radiation worker due to scatter
radiation

A

Compton interaction

59
Q

first observed by
Heinrich Hertz
- occurs when the incident x-ray is totally
absorbed during the ionization of an inner shell
electron.- good effect: produces good radiograph
or gives contras

A

Photoelectric effect

60
Q

occurs in x-rays that have
energies greater than 1.022 MeV
- Each electron (negatron or negative
electron and positron or positive electron)
possesses 0.511 MeV
- important in PET facility
- does not occur in diagnostic
radiology

A

Pair production

61
Q

photon absorbed
by the nucleus and the nuclear fragment is
emitted
- the energy required to undergo this
interaction is greater than or equal to 7-10
Mev

A

Photodisintegration

62
Q

Who invented the cerrobend blocks

A

Barnabas wood
