Answer 15

stochastic

Question 16

kinds of effects - timing

Answer 16

early effect
late effect

Question 17

classified as effects of radiation appearing after seconds, minutes, or days after exposure (kinds of effects - timing)

Answer 17

early effect

(kinds of effect - chance)

Answer 21

stochastic

Question 22

Dose Terms

Answer 22

Threshold
Non-Threshold
Linear
Non-Linear
Absorbed Dose
Effective Dose

Question 23

dose in which there is a limit for effect (dose terms)

Answer 23

threshold

Question 24

any dose can produce a guaranteed effect (dose terms)

Answer 24

non-threshold

Question 25

equal radiation dose and effect (dose terms)

Answer 25

linear

Question 26

does not follow linear terms (dose terms)

Answer 26

non-linear

Question 27

the amount of energy deposited by radiation in a mass (dose terms)

Answer 27

absorbed dose

Question 28

is calculated for the whole body (dose terms)

Answer 28

effective dose

Question 29

it is the addition of equivalent doses to all organs, each adjusted to account for the sensitivity of the organ to radiation (dose terms)

Answer 29

effective dose

Question 30

Dose Effects

Answer 30

Cell Dose Response
Diagnostic and Therapeutics

Question 31

Cell Dose Response

Answer 31

High Dose = Cell Death
Low Dose = Cell Alteration

Question 32

Diagnostic

Answer 32

High Dose = Low absorption/Low effect
Lose Dose = High effect

Question 33

Therapeutic

Answer 33

High Energy - High Absorbed Dose

Question 34

Effect-Dose Relationship

Answer 34

Deterministic
Stochastic
Cataractogenesis
No Safe Dose

Question 35

Deterministic (Effect - Dose Relationship)

Answer 35

Deterministic > Threshold > Non-Linear

Question 36

Stochastic (Effect - Dose Relationship)

Answer 36

Stochastic > Non-Threshold > Linear

Question 37

Cataractogenesis

Answer 37

Threshold > Linear

Question 38

No Safe Dose

Answer 38

Non-Threshold > Non-Linear
