Across
  1. 1. Example of a late effect.
  2. 4. DR curve; aka "deterministic". Probability and severity of effect depend on dose. (capital letters only).
  3. 6. Whole-body dose greater than 6 Gy that will cause death without medical support. Estimated at 50/30.
  4. 8. Example of an early effect of ARS.
  5. 9. aka random, probabilistic, non-deterministic, and non-threshold.
  6. 12. Results when the central nervous system and cardiovascular system receive doses of 50 Gy or more. Fatal in 1-3 days.
  7. 13. Number of stories that related data to the formation of carcinogenesis from radioactive exposure at doses below 0.1 Gy.
  8. 15. Type of ray used to treat ringworm.
  9. 18. The most important and sensitive embryologic phase.
  10. 20. aka "bone marrow syndrom" 1-10 Gy. The only form of ARS that is sometimes survivable.
  11. 22. Occurs in humans after whole-body reception of large doses of ionizing radiation delivered over a short period (hours/days).
  12. 24. aka beginning stage of ARS
  13. 26. period of time at which outward symptoms disappear.
  14. 27. aka hair loss
  15. 28. The period when signs and symptoms involving Hematopoietic, Gi, and cerebrovascular systems become visible.
  16. 29. Type of risk model; predicts that a specific number of excess cancers will occur.
  17. 30. No injury occurs before a set dose amount.
Down
  1. 2. Skin reddening and inflammation that occurs acutely after radiation exposures.
  2. 3. aka "self". Damage to non-reproductive cells. May be an early or a late effect.
  3. 5. Appears at 6 Gy and is fatal. Without medical support, these persons die in 3-10 days.
  4. 7. Radiation dose that would cause the number of spontaneous mutations occurring naturally in a population to increase two times.
  5. 10. Presumed to follow the QNT curve. A cancer of the bone marrow.
  6. 11. The theory that small doses of radiation will provide either a benefit of therapeutic quality.
  7. 14. Effects that are non-deterministic, non-threshold, stochastic, and probabilistic.
  8. 16. DR curve that would represent ALARA or diagnostic radiology. (capital letters only).
  9. 17. Chemically similar to calcium which incorporates itself into bone tissue.
  10. 19. Risk Model used to show data from bomb survivors.
  11. 21. Effects experienced by Radiation Therapy patients.
  12. 23. The ONLY deterministic late effect.
  13. 25. Type of risk model; predicts that the number of excess cancers will increase as the natural incidence of cancer.
