* Define ionizing and non-ionizing radiation * Explain the basics of the electromagnetic spectrum: relationship between frequency, wavelength, and particle / wave energy * Identify types of ionizing radiation and their characteristics * Define internal vs. external radiation exposure * Calculate the effective dose using RBE factors and absorbed doses when provided with the necessary information * Identify the relative importance of common radiation sources in terms of total average exposure * Provide the relationship between organismal complexity and radiation...
Discuss: a. What is ionizing radiation? b. Three possible effects of exposure of ionizing radiation on living cells. c. Two factors that determine the severity of ionizing radiation.
32. Describe briefly the differences in designating an area as a “Radiation Area”, “High Radiation Area” and a “Very High Radiation Area” with respect the potential risk from exposures to ionizing radiation.
What are the risk factors associated with damage from ionizing radiation? That is, what is the cause that will cause damage during or after pregnancy?
1. What is meant by the “Relative Biological Effectiveness" and the "Oxygen Enhancement Ratio" of an ionizing radiation? 2. What factors are involved in the sensitivity of a particular tissue to radiation damage? How do the terms “VIM", "DIM”, “MCT”, “RPM” and “FPM" relate in this regard. 3. Describe briefly the differences between "early" and "late” effects of radiation damage as well as describe what “Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS)” is and give a description of biological mechanisms that are involved...
choose a source of radiation and discuss each of the following a. Is the radiation ionizing or nonionizing ? Is the radiation released from this source expected to be dangerous? why or why not Is this source of radiation natural or artificial? Are there any applications for this of radiation?
4. What factors are required to estimate the genetically significant dose of an ionizing electromagnetic radiation such as X-rays or gamma rays? 5. What is the difference between the direct versus the indirect effects of radiation damage to biological target molecules? What is the most important biologic target molecule? 6.
