RT LESSON 12

QUIZ
Kindly select A for TRUE & B for FALSE 1 to 11
1. White blood cells give first indication of radiation exposure to the body.
2. Body cells that are easily damaged by radiation area called latent cells.
3. Genetic effects refer to the effects causing hereditary characteristics.
4. Survey meters and pocket dosimeter are both considered to be personnel monitoring
devices.
5. Ionization chamber and Geiger-Mueller tube both refer to the commonly used survey meters,
which measure radiation rate.
6. Because it is very sensitive to low levels of radiation, the Geiger-Mueller is the most common
survey meter used in field radiography.
7. Film badges, survey meters and pocket dosimeter all are designed to measure radiation in
roentgens or milliroentgens.
8. The film badge and the pocket dosimeter both work on the principle of ionization.
9. The advantage of the Geiger-Mueller counter over the ion chamber survey meter is that the
G-M counter provides a permanent record of radiation.
10. If a radiation worker suspects that he is in a high radiation area, the first course of action
should be check his dosimeter and determine if the exposure is increasing.
11. A properly calibrated survey meter is considered to be the most reliable personnel monitoring
device and should be used in establishing an individuals permanent record.
