Across
- 6. A noninvasive x-ray procedure that can quantitively predict the risk of bone fracture
- 10. The average radiation dose to the entire active bone marrow
- 12. In general represents the absorbed dose to the most superficial layers of the skin
- 13. A partnership of medical societies whos overall common purpose is to reduce dose for pediatric patients
- 15. Radiation exposure received by the male and female reproductive organs
Down
- 1. The practice of using fluoroscopy to determine the exact location of the central ray with respect to the patient's anatomy before taking a diagnostic exposure
- 2. An alternative procedure to the use of a radiographic grid for reducing scattered radiation during certain examinations
- 3. A personnel monitoring device that most often contains a crystalline form of lithium fluoride as its sensing material
- 4. An interaction that produces a satisfying result through an exchange of information
- 5. X-ray exposure to the skin of the patient
- 7. Concept used to assess the net impact of gonadal dose to an entire population due to gonadal radiation received by a segment of that population
- 8. The goal of this campaign is to change long-established practice by raising awareness about methods for lowering radiation dose during pediatric medical imaging examinations
- 9. All the deflected radiation that arises from the interaction of an x-ray beam with the atoms of a patient or any other object in the path of the beam
- 11. Promotes lowering the amount of radiation used in medically necessary imaging procedures and eliminating unnecessary procedures in adult medical imaging
- 14. An image that must be performed more than once because of human or mechanical error during the production of the initial image
