Background radiation

radiographer should take the important responsible in radiation protection of the patient, member of the trauma team, and the radiographer himself or herself. Member of the trauma team cannot leave the patient in critical situation while imaging procedure are being performed. The unnecessary radiation exposure should be avoid and the trauma radiographer must unsure the team member are protected. In general radiography, common practices should minimal the radiation exposure include close…

Scientists use radiation in more forms than the average person realizes. With new technology these developments form new ways of living. Agriculture is not recognized as a big part in nuclear science. George de Hevesy was the first to practically use an isotope in 1911. We can thank him for the new advancements in fields of nuclear technology. The food you eat probably was altered using a form of neutron or gamma irradiation. Radioisotopes have changed the way we live, through all fertilizers,…

Tzvat is a city in the Northern District of Israel. Located at an elevation of 2,953 feet, Tzvat is the highest city in the Galilee and in Israel. Due to its high elevation, Tzvat experiences warm summers and snowy winters.Tzvat is a famous vacation spot for its mild climate and scenic views. Tzvat’s current mayor is Ilan Shohat. In 2016, it had an estimated population of 33,636 residence. Tzvat is known as one of the four holy cities along with Jerusalem, Chevron, and Tiveria. It is mentioned…

Radioiodine production Radioiodine is defined as a radioactive isotope of the chemical element Iodine. Although there are at least 37 different Iodine radioisotopes, only four of them are used as tracers or therapeutic agents in medicine; these are 123-I, 124-I, 125-I, and 131-I, with the latter being the most common in clinical practice. Essentially all industrial production of radioiodine isotopes involves four aforementioned radionuclides. History of radioiodine production and usage The…

X-radiations (X-rays) are electromagnetic radiation that is utilised in performing radiographs; radiography is an imaging technique that utilises X-rays to generate a view of the internal anatomy of an individual (National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering 2017). The use of dental X-rays play a fundamental part in every dental clinic in terms of assisting dental professionals in diagnosing a condition, aiding in highlighting and providing early intervention for various dental…

PET is a nuclear medicine, working imaging ability that creates a three-dimensional image of functional processes within the human body. [1] First, chemicals which emits gamma radiation are injected into the human body, then; the system detects pairs of gamma rays emitted indirectly by a tracer to show images of bones and organs. These substances are injected into the body, and are usually tagged with a radioactive atom.[1] Doctors use this device to create images of bones and organs of the…

Spectroscopy is the study of how matter and electromagnetic radiation interact with one another. In this experiment, we are observing and recording the emission of photons with wavelengths on the visible light spectrum. To understand…

Introduction: The ability of substances within a solution to absorb light is a wonderful phenomenon as it aids in processes such as determining the concentration of proteins. The way that a solution absorbs light is due to the photoelectric effect. The way the photoelectric effect works is that when light comes in contact with the sample, the photons of light will react with its electrons. As the light travels through the solution, "a photon of light may interact with an electron ... [where]…

Astronomy Practical – Carey Zimmer The aim of this experiment is to verify the inverse square law involving the light from the globe of an optics kit (The star) and a light meter placed some distance away. This is to be done by analysing the relationship between the source and the detector. Hypothesis: If the distance between a light source and a light meter increases, then the amount of Lux recorded on the light meter will decrease. Materials: • Light box kit • Power supply • Meter ruler •…

Radiotherapy Radiation has many beneficial ways to be used. The type that will be discussed in this report is its medical uses in treating cancer. The treatment is called radiation therapy or radiotherapy (National Cancer Institute 2010). More than half of all cancer patients get radiotherapy as part of their treatment (American Cancer Society 2014). It is often used alongside chemotherapy (D Hermann n.d.). The purpose of radiation therapy is to cure or control the cancer or to relieve symptoms…
