Sources of natural background radiation contributing to whole-body radiation dose include 1. dental x-rays 2. terrestrial radionuclides 3. internal radionuclides

Cosmic radiation occurs in which two forms?

What type of personnel radiation monitor device has a gas-filled ionization chamber and provides a reading at any time via Internet connection?

The degree of x-ray attenuation is directly related to what quality of the radiographed part?

Through which of the following routes can radon enter houses?1. Crawl spaces under living areas2. Floor drains and sump pumps3. Porous cement block foundations

Because of the OSL dosimeter’s sensitivity down to as low as 10 µSv for x-ray and gamma ray photons in the energy range 5 keV to 40 MeV, it is an excellent and practical monitoring device for

In the electromagnetic spectrum, higher frequencies are associated with

Calculation of effective dose (ED) requires: 1. absorbed dose (D) 2. type of radiation (Wr) 3. tissue exposrd (Wt)

The millisievert (mSv) is equal to

How does filtration affect the primary beam 1. it increases the average energy of the primary beam 2. it decreases the average energy of the primary beam 3. it makes the useful beam more penetrating 4. it increases the intensity of the primary beam 5. it decreases x-ray beam quality 6. it decreases patient dose
