Responsibilities of a medical facility’s radiation safety officer (RSO) include which of the following?1. Developing an appropriate radiation safety program2. Maintaining radiation monitoring records for all personnel3. Repairing all broken or defective imaging equipment

Why have scientists developed occupational and non occupational effective dose limits for exposure to ionizing radiation?

Conclusive proof exists that low-level ionizing radiation dose (i.e., those below 0.1 Gy) cause a significant increase in the risk of malignancy.

When exposure to ionizing radiation causes proliferation to the white blood cells, the radiation induced disease that occurs is:

The ICRP is considered the international authority on the safe use of sources of ionizing radiation.

Cataracts, leukemia and genetic mutations are examples of measurable radiation induced biologic damage.

Some examples of late reactions are:1. Cataracts2. Organ atrophy3. Nausea and vomiting4.Reduced Fertility

In humans radiation induced________ may take 5 or more years to develop.

For radiation workers, such as a medical imaging personnel, occupational risk is equated with occupational risk in which of the following?

Which of the following is a stochastic effect? 1. Heredity Effects 2. Carcinogenesis 3. Reduce fertility
