Effects of Radiation

The principal hazard to the operator during exposure is:

Amount of energy absorbed by the tissue is:

The ALARA concept is:

The law requires the diameter for the beam to be :

The unit of electrical charge, or the number of ion pairs in the air is:

Every patient should be evaluated for dental radiographs on an individual basis:

Radiation effects that appear within a matter of minutes, days or weeks is:

Radiation effects that appear within minutes is called

The direct theory refers to:

The radiation injuries that are not seen in the patient being irradiated but future generations

limiting the diameter of the primary beam

Minimum total filtration that is required is:

Eliminating the less penetrating x-rays from the beam is called:

Radiation coming directly off the target of the x-ray machine is called:

The latent period is defined as:

The safe distance during a radiographic exposure is
