When were x-rays discovered? - November 8, 1895 in Germany

What are the 3 Cardinal Principals of radiation protection? - Maximize distance,
maximize shielding, minimize time

What is Erythema? - Reddening of the skin

What is Anemia? - Decrease of oxygen in blood, low blood count

What is Leukopenia? - Low WBC count

What is epilation? - Loss of hair

What is collimation? - Limits the size/area of the x-ray beam

What is a proton? - Positively charged, in nucleus of atom

What is a neutron? - No electrical charge, in nucleus of atom

What is a electron? - Negatively charged, in orbital shell around nucleus of an atom

What is an ion? - A charged particle

What is ionization? - Process of an electron leaving its orbit around a neutral atom

What does isotropic mean? - Equal in all directions

What happens when x-rays are absorbed by body tissue? - Causes ionization of atoms
and molecules
