Potential ionizing radiation damage to tissue is dependent on the  1.Z number if the tissue 2. type of ionizing radiation 3. mass density of the tissue

Which of the following is not a type of interaction between x-radiation and biologic matter?

For exposure to 10 mGy of each of the following radiations, which would result in the greatest dose to the individual?

The advantages of the BERT method are 1. it does not imply radiation risk; it is simply a means for comparison.2. it emphasizes that radiation is an innate part of our environment.3. it provides an answer that is easy for the patient to comprehend.

Electromagnetic radiation travels or propagates through space in the form of a wave but can interact with matter as a particle of energy called a photon. This dual nature is referred to as

Which of the following results in all-directional scatter?

For x-ray and gamma ray photons with energies up to 3 million electron volts (MeV), which of the following radiation quantities may be defined as the measure of the total electric charge of one sign, either all pluses or all minuses, per unit mass that these two types of radiation generate in dry air at standard temperature and pressure (760 mm Hg or 1 atmosphere at sea level and 22 C)?

The total kinetic energy released in a unit mass (kilogram) of air and expressed in metric units of joules per kilogram is

What is used to account for differences in tissue characteristics when determining effective dose to biologic material? 1. Tissue weighting factor 2. Radiation weighting factor 3. Absorbed dose

How is dose area product usually specified?
