Types of Ionizing Radiation

� What are types of ionizing radiation that are important in healthcare setting?

Sources of Exposure

� What are the sources of exposure to ionizing radiation?

Sources of Exposure

� What are some examples of environmental radiation?

Sources of Exposure

� What are some examples of medical sources?

� What are the characteristics of x-rays?

� State the penetrating needs for steel, and the human body:

� Rays come from outside the body, but cause damage inside the body.

Sources of Exposure

Exposure Source Exposure Level

Coal-burning power plant 0.165 mrem/year

X-rays from TV set (1 inch) 0.5 mrem/hour

Airplane ride (39,000 ft) 0.5 mrem/hour

0.6 mrem/year

Three-mile Island (dose at plant, duration of accident)

80 mrem

Building materials (concrete) 3 mrem/year

Chest x-ray 8 mrem/year

Shoe-fitting fluoroscope (per use) 170 mrem

Radionuclides in the body (potassium)

39 mrem/year

Dental x-ray 10 mrem/year

� What do the effects on body depend on:

What do effects from externalsource depend on?

Parent

� What are the somatic effects of radiation?

� What are the genetic effects of radiation?

� List the sensitive cells, from most sensitive to least sensitive:

� List the sources of health hazard data:

Units of Measurement

� What are the units of measure associated with radiology?

Roentgen (R)

� Exposure to x-rays and gamma rays in air is expressed in:

Roentgen Adsorbed Dose

� Describe RAD:

Roentgen Equivalent Man

� Describe REM:

Units of Measurement

� List the what the effect of ionizing radiation is determined by:

Standards and Guides

Why is there a difference between occupational limits and public health limits?

� Occupational limits

� Public health limits

� Dose limits

� What is the permissible dose for the whole body, per quarter?

� What is the permissible dose for hands, forearms, and feet, per quarter?

� What in the permissible dose for the skin of whole body per quarter?

� What should be posted in a radiation area?

� What should be posted in a high radiation area?

� What areas are to be labeled?

Posting Requirements

What is theUniversal symbol?

Monitoring Instruments

� What are the 3 monitoring instruments?

Monitoring Instruments

� List 3 things that personal monitoring might include:

Basic Safety Factors

� What 3 things aid in keeping exposures As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA)?

� How does time affect ALARA?

Distance: Inverse square law: by

doubling the distance from a source, the exposure is decreased by a factor of 4.

I1R12 = I2R2

Inverse Square Law

I1 = initial intensityR1= initial distanceR2 = new distanceI2 = new intensity

Basic Safety FactorsInverse Square Law

If a source emits 10 mR/hour at a distance of 1 foot, what is the exposure level at 4 feet away?

I2 = I1 x (R12 / R2

I2 = 5 mR/hour x ( 1ft2 / 16 ft2)

I2 = 0.625 mR/hour

� How does shielding affect ALARA?

� Shielding

Nonionizing Radiation

� What are two forms of non-ionizing radiation?

Biological Effects

� What types of light do lasers emit?

Safety Factors

� What are made for a specific wavelength of laser light?

� You should make sure the safety glasses are specifically rated to what?
