Radbio unit 6 Flashcards
Dose response for leukemia
Linear nonthreshold
Examples of late effects of radn
Carcinogenesis
Cataractogenesis
Life span shortened
Genetic damage
What is leukemia and what is latent period
Proliferation of WBC
5-7 yrs but still risk up to 20 yrs
Leukemia is due to what type of exposure
Gamma
Bone cancer is what type dose response
Linear quadratic
Lung cancer is what type of dose response
Linear nonthreshold
Early effects
NV, desquamation, erythema
Late effects
Cataracts, leukemia, cancer, life span shortening, genetic damage
GSD
Genetically significant dose - estimated dose received by population….20 milirad
10-25 rule
10 rad - never indicate termination
10-25 rad - gray area depends on when in gestation fetus was exposed
More than 25 rad - terminate
Dose of radn will produce twice frequency of genetic mutations would have been observed wo radn
Doubling dose
50-250 rad
Lab animals
Early rads
Fruit fly
Mega mouse
Life span shortening
Life span shortening
No new mutation but increase existing mutations
No new mutations
Does skin cancer have nonthreshold or threshold
Threshold and linear
Thoratrast
Liver..spleen
Leukemia
Uranium minors develop what type ca
Lung
