The term used to express kinetic energy released in matter is

The ALARA principle provides a method for comparing the amount of radiation used in various health care facilities in a particular area for specific imaging procedures. This information may be helpful to many

The operation of personnel radiation monitoring devices can be based on simulated luminescence.  Which of the following personnel radiation monitors functions in that manner? 1/ OSL dosimeter 2. TLD 3. Pocket dosimeter

Effective protective measures take into consideration1. both human and environmental physical determinants.2. technical elements.3. procedural factors.

All of the following function to reduce patient dose, except

The operation of personnel radiation monitoring devices can depend on which of the following? 1. ionization 2. luminescence 3. thermoluminescence

The photoelectric effect is more likely to occur with  1. absorbers having a high Z number 2. high energy incident photons 3. positive contrast media

An ionization chamber connected to an electrometer is a device that can measure

Why is a question concerning the amount of radiation a patient will receive during a specific x-ray procedure difficult to answer?1. Because the received dose is specified in a number of different units of measure2. Because the scientific units for radiation dose are normally not comprehensible by a patient3. Because the patient should not receive any information about radiation dose

Radiation that passes through the tube housing in directions other than that of the useful beam is termed
