Rad Protection Ch 8&9 Study Guide
Across
- 5. Damage to bowel, happens at 6-10 Gy whole body dose, death in 3-5 days
- 7. Random, probabilistic, non-deterministic, non-threshold, more in xray
- 9. Risk model that predicts a specific number of cancers will occur as a result of exposure
- 11. No symptoms, lose dose people heal here & symptoms don’t return, stage 2
- 15. Our principle, follows linear non-threshold line
- 18. Below this dose, no biologic effects are observed
- 19. Non-random, threshold, early effects
- 21. Most severe, confusion, 50+ Gy, damage to blood vessels & CNS, death
- 23. 13 weeks - term, fetus is no more sensitive than it would be on outside womb*
- 24. Symptoms return, mild symptoms and smaller doses may recover, can figure out dose based on symptoms… Hemo, GI, or Cerebro starts, stage 3*
Down
- 1. 0-9 days after conception, all or nothing abortion possible
- 2. The only non-random, deterministic late effect
- 3. 10 days – 12 weeks after conception
- 4. Risk model that predicts the number of cancers will increase as the natural incidence increases with advancing age
- 6. Dose dependent, universal signs and symptoms, stage 1
- 7. Most affected in gastrointestinal syndrome*
- 8. Whole-body doses of ionizing radiation from 1-10 Gy, affects the
- 10. Radiation exposure causes the number of RBC, WBC, & platelets in circulating blood to
- 12. types of cells that are the primary concern with early effects
- 13. 2-10 Gy whole body
- 14. Effects that appear in minutes, hours, days, or weeks, and require a substantial dose, severity is dose related
- 16. Latent period aka *
- 17. AKA “radiation sickness”
- 20. Death or recovery stage
- 22. Long-term results of radiation exposure, cataracts, leukemia, genetic mutations*
