Questions and Answers

How does the OER vary with cell cycle?

  • G1 phase cells have lower OER, dominating low-dose region (correct)
  • OER remains constant throughout the cell cycle
  • G1 phase cells have higher OER, dominating low-dose region
  • S phase cells have lower OER, dominating low-dose region

    • What is the Oxygen Enhancement Ratio (OER) at high doses for sparsely ionizing radiations?

  • Less than 2.5
  • More than 3.5
  • Between 2.5 and 3.5 (correct)
  • Exactly 2.5

    • What is the Oxygen Enhancement Ratio (OER) for densely ionizing radiations (α-particles)?

  • About 1.6; smaller oxygen effect than x-rays
  • Unity; no oxygen effect (correct)
  • Between 2.5 and 3.5
  • More than 3.5
