17
Q

Primary barrier thickness formula

A

P=BWUT/d^2

18
Q

Primary barrier thickness: B

A

Barrier transmission factor

19

A

workload

20
Q

Primary barrier thickness: U

A

use

21
Q

Primary barrier thickness: T

A

occupancy

22
Q

Primary barrier thickness: d

A

distance from target/ source of radiation

23
Q

MRI: Magnetism

A

electromagnetic property with the same directionality as the magnetic moment in an atomic nucleus

24
Q

MRI is divided into three stages

A

magnetization, resonance, relaxation

25
Q

MRI uses what atom in the body

A

hydrogen

26
Q

MRI Resonance occurs when

A

an external magnetic field is applied

27
Q

MRI: Resonance defintion

A

The magnetic moments of the hydrogen atom, which were previously going in different directions, align in the same direction when a magnetic field is applied

28
Q

MRI relaxation

A

when the external magnetic field disappears, the release of energy when and atom returns to its original state

29
Q

How do we get the MRI image

A

imaging the energy signals generated from relaxation of the hydrogen atoms

30
Q

Can we image titanium with MRI

A

yes, does not affect the magnetic field

31
Q

Can we image craniofacial titanium plates

A

Must ask vendor what alloy is used in titanium as it could contain unsafe MRI material
