🗑
show 6.87 mR  
🗑
show 1.48 mR (using inverse square law)

🗑
show lymphocytes  
🗑
7. guidelines for the use of protective shielding state that gonadal shielding should be used   show
🗑
8. the interaction between ionizing radiation and the target molecule that is most likely to occur is the:   show
🗑
9. what is the approximate entrance skin exposure (ESE) for the average anteroposterior (AP) supine abdomen radiograph?   show
🗑
10. all of the following are generally used to help reduce patient dose except: 1. grid 2. collimator 3. gonad shield   show
🗑

🗑
show 150 mSv (15 rem)  
🗑
13. occupational radiation monitoring is required when it is possible that the individual might receive more than:   show
🗑
show terrestrial radionuclides and internal radionuclides  
🗑
show radiolysis  
🗑
16. which of the following contributes most to occupational exposure? A. photoelectric effect B. compton scatter C. classic scatter D. thompson scatter   show
🗑
17. which of the following are used to account for differences in tissue characteristics when determining effective dose to biologic material?   show
🗑
show compton scatter  
🗑
19. the exposure rate to a body 4ft from a source of radiation is 16 R/h. what distance from the source would be necessary to decrease the exposure to 6 R/h?   show
🗑
show the ESE increases  
🗑
21. late radiation-induced somatic effects include: 1. thyroid cancer 2. cataracts 3. genetic mutations   show
