25
Biological and radiation effects
molecular, cellular, organic,
26
Sensitive Areas
Soft tissues, thyroid, eyes, lymphocytes, reproductive organs
27
Effects depend on
quality of radiation, area exposed, species sensitivity, cell sensitivity
28
Fetus most susceptible during ____
first trimester
29
Deterministic effects of radiation
biological response whose severity varies with radiation dose.
30
Three phases
prodromal - immediate response 1-2 days latent period - no outward signs manifest illness - going to die
31
Diagnostic x-ray beams result in partial body exposure which is less harmful then?
full body exposure
32
Most radiosensitive cells in the body are?
lymohocytes and spermatogonia
33
The earliest manifestation of radiation injury to the skin comes from damage of?
Basal cells
34
Stochastic effects
results of low does delivered over a long period of time
35
Relative risk
estimation of late radiation effects in large populations without precise knowledge of their radiation dose.
36
excessive risk
difference between observed and expected number of cases
37
Absolute risk
incidence of malignant disease observed within 1 year of given dose
38
Cataracts
radiation induced cataracts occur posterior pole of the lens
