,2. Which ofthe following is aform ofradiation that is capable ofcreating electrically
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


charged particles byremoving orbital electrons from the atom ofnormal matter
r r r r r r r r r r


through which it passes?

c. Subatomic radiation r


d. Ultrasonic radiation r




ANS: A

3. Regarding exposure toionizing radiation, patients who areeducated to understand the
r r r r r r r r r r r


r medical benefit of an imaging procedure are more likely to
r r r r r r r r r


a. assume asmall chance ofbiologic damage butnot suppress anyradiation r r r r r r r r r r


r phobia they may have. r r r


b. cancel their scheduled procedure because they are notwilling to assume a
r r r r r r r r r r r


r small chance of biologic damage. r r r r


c. suppress anyradiation phobia butnot risk asmall chance ofpossible r r r r r r r r r r


r biologic damage. r


d. suppress anyradiation phobia and bewilling toassume asmall chance of r r r r r r r r r r r r


r possible biologic damage. r r




ANS: D

4. The millisievert (mSv) is equal to
r r r r r


a. 1/10 of a sievert. r r r


b. 1/100 of a sievert. r r r


c. 1/1000 of a sievert. r r r


d. 1/10,000 of a sievert. r r r



ANS: C


5. The advantages ofthe BERT method are
r r r r r r


1. BERT doesnot imply radiation risk; it is simply ameans for comparison.
r r r r r r r r r r r r


2. BERT emphasizes that radiation is aninnate part ofthe environment.
r r r r r r r r r r r


3. BERT provides ananswer that is easyfor the patient tocomprehend.
r r r r r r r r r r


a. 1 and 2 only r r r


b. 1 and 3 only r r r


c. 2 and 3 only r r r


d. All the options r r



ANS: D r




6. Ifapatient asks aradiographer aquestion about how much radiation he orshe will
r r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


receive from a specific x-ray procedure, the radiographer can
r r r r r r r r r


a. respond byusing an estimation basedonthe comparison ofradiation received r r ff r r r r r r r


from the x-ray to natural background radiation received.
r r r r r r r r


b. avoid the patient’s question bychanging the subject. r r r r r r


c. tell the patient that it is unethical to discuss such concerns.
r r r r r r r r r r


d. refuse toanswer thequestion and recommend that heorshe speakwith r r r r r r r r r


the referring physician.
r r r



ANS: A r




7. Whyshould the selection oftechnical exposure factors for allmedical imaging
r r r r r r r r r r r


r procedures always follow ALARA? r r r


a. Sothat referring physicians ordering imaging procedures donot have
r r r r r r r r r


r to accept responsibility for patient radiation safety.
r r r r r r


b. Sothat radiographers r and radiologists donot have toaccept responsibility for
r r r r r r r r

, patient radiation safety. r r

r r r r r r r r r r r r r r


specific x-ray procedure difficult to answer?
r r r r r r
