Practical (laboratory) lesson No 13. IONIZING RADIATION. DOSIMETRY

The student must learn the material on the topic and be able to answer the following questions:

1. Types of ionizing radiation.
2. Radioactivity. The law of radioactive decay.
3. X-ray radiation. X-ray tube.
4. The mechanism of formation of bremsstrahlung (braking) and characteristic X-ray radiation.
5. Interaction of X-ray radiation with matter. The law
of attenuation of the X-ray radiation flux by matter.
6. Physical foundations of the use of X-ray radiation in medicine.
7. Dosimetry of ionizing radiation.
8. Absorbed, exposure and equivalent radiation dose.
9. Dose rates. Units.
10. Protection against ionizing radiation.
