Study Notes
Radiation Exposure
- The average annual dose of natural background radiation exposure is approximately 2.4 mSv ( millisievert).
Terrestrial External Radiation Exposure
- One source of terrestrial external radiation exposure is radon in the soil.
Internal Exposure to Radionuclides
- An example of internal exposure to radionuclides is the consumption of food and water contaminated with radioactive substances.
Principle Guiding Doses from Oral-maxillofacial Imaging
- The ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) guides the doses from Oral-maxillofacial imaging.
Human-made Radiation Exposure
- The greatest contributor to human-made radiation exposure is medical imaging, particularly CT scans.
