QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 100%
CORRECT
The primary purpose of the ALARA principal and diagnostic imaging is to - ANSWER-
Reduce radiation does to occupational workers
A radiation worker receive the radiation dose of 5 mGy while participating in a
fluoroscopy procedure for 10 minutes. What radiation dose would have been received
by the worker if they reduce their time in the radiation field to only five minute? -
ANSWER-2.5 mGy
Which cardinal rule of radiation protection is mathematically defined by the inverse
square law - ANSWER-Distance
In order to reduce a Technologist occupational dose during a portable radiograph of the
chest, the technologist should - ANSWER-Stand several feet away from the patient
during the exposure
During a surgical procedure, using three minutes of fluoroscopy time, a radiographer
receives an effective dose of 1 mSv. What effective those would be experienced by the
radiographer, if the fluoroscopy time is doubled? - ANSWER-2 mSv
A radiographer is exposed to a dose rate of 10 mSv per hour, while standing 3 feet from
the patient during see arm procedures. What is the approximate dose rate if the
radiographer stands for feet from the patient? - ANSWER-5.6 mSv/hr
A radiologist receives an equivalent dose of 100 microsieverts while standing 25 cm
from a patient during a fluoroscopy procedure. Estimate the equivalent dose if the
radiologist and 10 cm from the patient. - ANSWER-625 microsieverts
Which three of the following properties of lead make it a valuable material for radiation
shielding devices? - ANSWER-- High atomic number

Which of the following materials requires the smallest half value layer (HVL) to
effectively attenuate the x-ray beam? - ANSWER-Lead
How does radiation dose change if a Technologist increases their distance from
radiation source by a factor of 2? - ANSWER-Dose decreases by a factor of two
squared
, A half value layer (HVL) is the thickness of material required to reduce which of the
following by half? - ANSWER-X-ray beam intensity

decreased patient dose
- Increased image quality
Collimator leaves must be constructed of Haley attenuating materials such as -
ANSWER-Lead
