RADT 1200 Test Review Questions
and Revised Answers All Correct
The 1980 BEIR report revealed that the majority of stochastic effects and genetic effects
at low dose levels from low-LET radiation appear to follow what type of curve? -
Answer-linear quadratic non-threshold dose response curve
The 1990 BEIR report suggested that radiation exposure and associated risk be
represented by which curve? - Answer-linear nonthreshold
The _____________ curve implies that the biological response to ionizing radiation is
directly proportional to the dose. - Answer-linear nonthreshold
Non-stochastic effects of signification radiation exposure such as skin erythema and
hematologic depression may be demonstrated graphically through the use of which
curve? - Answer-linear threshold curve
_________________ effects are those that appear months or years after exposure to
ionizing radiation. - Answer-late somatic
Late effects that can be directly related to the dose received and occur months to years
after a high-level radiation exposure are classified as ? - Answer-non-stochastic effects
The 3 major types of late somatic effects are: - Answer-carcinogenesis,
cataractogenesis and embryologic effects
The _______ model predicts that a specific number of excess cancers will occur as a
result of exposure. - Answer-absolute risk
The ________ model predicts that the number of excess cancers will increase as the
natural incidence of cancer increases with advancing age in population. - Answer-
relative risk
_________ is the most important late stochastic effec caused by exposure to ionizing
radiation. - Answer-cancer
Based on data collected, a slightly higher risk of dying from any type of cancer was
found in techs who began working before what year? - Answer-1940
The stage of gestation that corresponds to 0-9 days after conception is called ? -
Answer-preimplantation
, During which trimester is the embryo-fetus considered to be the most susceptible to
damage from radiaiton? - Answer-first
When does organogenesis occur? - Answer-10 days post conception - 12 weeks
postconception
__________- is the radiaiton dose that causes the number of spontaneous mutation
occurring in a given generation to increase in two times their original number. - Answer-
doubling dose
When biologic effects of radiation occur relatively soon after humans receive high doses
of ionizing radiation, the biologic responses demonstrated are referred to as ? - Answer-
early effects
the term _______ originates from the Greek term "soma" which means body. - Answer-
somatic
__________- effects are effects upon the body that was irradiated. - Answer-somatic
_________ effects are effects upon a future generation due to the irradiation of germ
cells in previous generations. - Answer-genetic
If the consequences of irradiation include cell killing and are directly related to the dose
received, they are termed _______________ reactions. - Answer-somatic tissue
AS the radiation dose increases, the severity of early somatic tissue reactions
__________ - Answer-increases
Early tissue reactions appear within : - Answer-minutes, hours, days or weeks
___________-- is the medical term that defines a collection of symptoms - Answer-
syndrome
Name the 3 syndromes that are part of Acute Radiation Syndrome (ARS). - Answer-
hematopoietic, gastrointestinal and cerebrovascular
The hematopoietic syndrom occurs from exposures that range from ____ Gy to ____
Gy. - Answer-1-10
The gastrointestinal syndrome occurs at a threshold dose of approximately ___ Gy and
peaks after a dose of ___ Gy. - Answer-6-10
What aspect of the gastrointestinal system is the most severely affected from exposure
to radiation? - Answer-small intestine
