overall stochastic risk to a patient depends o effective radiation dose, which is related to tissue ____ dose and to the volume tissue exposed
radiation
Dose area product (DAP)
- quantity that reflects not only the dose but also the ______ of tissue exposed irradiated: therefore it maybe a better indicator of risk than dose
volume
primary radiation
- most intense which is the ___l beam
useful
two types of secondary radiation
scatter radiation and leakage radiation
scatter radiation
- useful beam ___ an object, causing xray to be scatter
intercepts
intensity of scatter radiation ___m from the patient is approx. ___% of intensity of the useful beam at the patient
