Radiation Basics
For x-rays to be produced, one needs a source of electrons, ________, and a way to rapidly stop the movement of electrons.
What is a way to rapidly accelerate the electrons?
A system that operates at the individual level, with its control based on one's consciousness, and sanctions are based on one's sense of shame and guilt. "Customs of right living and values."
What are Morals?
Term for the measure of radiation absorbed in an object, in any medium.
(Bonus: SI unit/Traditional Unit)
What is Absorbed Dose?
Bonus: Gray(Gy)/Radiation absorbed dose (rad)
Describes the public annual equivalent dose limit for skin, hands and feet AND Education and Training limit for skin, hands, and feet AND Annual *occupational* exposure limit
What is 50 mSv?
Example of a professional society for RTs.
What is the American Society for Radiologic Technologists?
Interaction that describes a photon below 10KeV, that excites the atom but does not absorb the energy of the photon, and sends out a photon of equivalent energy.
Term that is best described as "a common concern for collective self-discipline".
What is Professional Ethics?
Kinetic energy released in matter.
What is Air Kerma?
Occupational exposure, Equivalent Annual Dose Limit for Lens of Eyes.
What is 150mSv?
How often to complete Continuing Qualifying Requirements
How often is Every 10 years?
Word used to describe the primary, or "useful" beam that is produced in the x-ray tube and directed towards the patient.
What is Heterogenous?
Part A of the ARRT Standards of Ethics, and found in Appendix C. Comprised of 11 aspirational principles.
What is the ARRT Code of Ethics?
SI unit used to measure Exposure.
What is Coulomb per Kilogram (C/Kg)?
Equivalent Dose limit for Embryo-Fetal Exposure (Monthly).
What is .5mSv?
Organization that provides license to practice Radiologic Technology in Texas
What is the Texas Medical Board (TMB)?
How many eV is in 1 MeV
How much is 1 million?
Most challenging step in the process of ethical analysis.
What is -"Selecting the best solution"?
Two terms used to measure occupational exposure.
Bonus: SI unit/Traditional Unit
What is Effective Dose(EfD) and Dose Equivalent(EqD)?
Bonus: Sievert (Sv)/Radiation Equivalent Man (rem)
Public exposure, annual infrequent exposure limit.
What is 5mSv?
Organization that accredits hospitals
What is The Joint Commission?
Interaction that is the greatest radiation hazard to the patient since it results in the complete absorption of energy from the incident photon.
What is Photoelectric Interaction/Absorption?
Practice behaviors defined by members of a profession.
What are Standards of Professional Conduct?
Formula to calculate Sieverts.
What is (Absorbed Dose*Quality Factor)/(Gy*Q=Sv)?
Maximum cumulative whole-body dose limit for a 67 year old occupational worker.
What is 670 mSv.
