X-rays are from the Electric Magnetic Spectrum or radiation energy and is considered harmful in high energy ranges. What is the most likely potential hazard working with diagnostic radiology? ✔✔ Carcinogenesis - Stochastic/Non-Threshold Effect .1 Rem = ? Seivert ✔✔ 1 Sievert 0.1 Gray = ? Rad ✔✔ 10 Rad 1 Gray = ? Rad ✔✔ 100 Rad What is Aplastic Anemia? When dose it occur? ✔✔ All types of blood cells: Red & White 25 Rads A decrease in blood count is the earliest response seen to dose radiation. It can occur at dosease as low as? ✔✔ 25 Rads or .25 Gray What is Cataractogenesis? ✔✔ Process of Cataract Formation Cataractogenesis occurs after acute or chronic exposures of how many Rads? ✔✔ 200 Rads, 2 Gray Skin Eyrythemia (Skin Redning) occurs above? ✔✔ Above 200 Rad, 2 Gray Temporary Sterility occurs in the adult male at acute doses of how many Rads? ✔✔ 250 Rads, 2.5 Gray Pregnant radiographer should?
