This quiz is the companion to the Directed Reading article “Shielding in Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy,” which appears in the May/June 2018 Radiologic Technology journal.
The medical use of ionizing radiation accounts for almost half of the radiation exposure accumulated by people living in the United States each year. Although risks are associated with using radiation, materials and techniques are available to protect patients and medical personnel from excess radiation. This article reviews the nature of radiation, its effects on matter, and how shielding can help keep exposure levels as low as reasonably achievable.
