MID LONG QUIZ Flashcards
what kind of radiation is capable of having different masses and traveling at different speeds
particulate radiation
what kind of radiation, for all of its different types, travels at the same speed
electromagnetic radiation
during ionization, what usual subatomic particle moves when one is added or removed
electron
in practice, the most common radiation that we use is
ionizing radiation
particulate radiation travels differently because of varying masses and chargers. also, all can be used for practice of radiologic technology. tf
false
when a cell is exposed to radiation, 4 occurrences can happen. when the radiation is high enough, it would pass through the cell with little chance of absorption because the higher the energy of radiation, the stronger the penetrability. tf
true
all germ cells are considered radiosensitive because of characteristic of immaturity and undifferentiated. tf
true
all radiation exposure will have a random change of effect to a person regardless of how much dose was absorbed. tf
false
for therapeutics, high radiation dose is recommended to eliminate neoplastic cells. tf
true
which of the following cardinal principlesof radiation protection is the most effective
distanc
what kind of shield material is commonly used for personnel protection
lead
what kind of material is used to reduce radiation tremendously from passing through another room
concrete
what happens to energy as it travels through space
it weakens
what does ALARA mean
as low as reasonably achievable
it is polyenergetic, meaning it emts myltiple beams at the same time
xray
why is gammar ray also considered therapeutic
because of radiopharmaceutical drug
