Across
  1. 2. Exposure duration
  2. 6. protective barriers are typically 0.5mm thick of this material
  3. 7. Restricts beam size
  4. 10. a measure to quantify the potential biological damage from different types radiation
  5. 12. Probability of these effects increases with dose
  6. 13. Severity of these effects increases with dose
Down
  1. 1. Kinetic energy released per unit mass
  2. 3. Removes low-energy x-rays
  3. 4. “As Low As Reasonably Achievable”
  4. 5. A measure combining absorbed dose and weighting factors to estimate overall risk
  5. 8. Protective barriers typically worn
  6. 9. Energy absorbed by tissue
  7. 11. increasing this between you and the source greatly reduces dose
