12
operating C-arm can result in what?
high occupational exposure
13
x-ray tube should be where doing c-arm procedures
under patient to reduce tech exposure

bone marrow also known as?
mean marrow dose
16
What does entrance skin exposure(ESE) refer to?
patient dose
17
what is mean marrow dose
average radiation dose to the entire active bone marrow
18
why is gonadal dose important
because of suspected genetic effects of radiation

should not interfere with area of interest
gonads lie in or near useful beam
should not interfere with area of interest
