1 Introduction to Radiation Biophysics Radiation Protection & Biology Rhodes
2 Radiation Biophysics the study of the effects of radiation on cells, tissues, biomolecules, and living organisms
3 Benefit Versus Risk Worth the risk to have the exam Mammography Fractured bone Repairs
4 ALARA As Low as Reasonably achievable = Optimization for Radiation Protection (ORP) Image Gently Campaign 2008 campaign to reduce radiation dose for pediatric exams
5 Background Equivalent Radiation Time ( BERT) Compares risk between two or more activities Radiography frequently uses life span shortening BERT EXAMPLES Other Similar Comparisons Smoking one cigarette = 10 minutes of life lost Home accidents = 95 days of life lost Overweight by 20% = 2.7 years life lost 1 REM of occupational exposure = 1 day Medical x-rays US average= 6 days Dowd, 2 nd ed, Practicle Rad protection
6 Importance of Radiation Biophysics Diagnostic Efficacy The degree to which the diagnostic study accurately reveals the presence or absence of disease in the patient. Diagnostic Efficacy Imaging Procedure Justified by physician Minimal Radiation Exposure Optimal Image Produced Presence or Absence of Disease Revealed

25 Atom Miniature solar system Fundamental particles Proton Neutron Electron Utilize Atomic Mass Units AMU to describe mass of particles Electrically neutral
26 Electrons Particles Carry one unit of negative electrical charge Revolve around nucleus in fixed orbits energy shells Mass is 9.1 x kg Mass is so small AMU = O
27 Protons Reside in nucleus Mass is x kg 1 AMU 1 unit of positive electrical charge
28 Neutron Reside in nucleus Mass is x kg 1 AMU O units of charge
29 Characteristics of Fundamental Particles Particle Location Mass AMU # Charge Electron Shell x kg Proton Nucleus x kg Neutron Nucleus x kg 0 Negative 1 Positive 1 Neutral 29
30 Quarks Smaller particles that compose protons & neutrons Particles are usually paired Up/Down Charm/Strange Top/Bottom The Particle Adventure
31 Leptons - neutrinos Point like particles without internal structure 6 named leptons exist today Electrons are leptons Three of the leptons are neutinos Solitary particles that do not interact with other particles Produced in particle decay Identified due to mass of the neutino needed to balance conservation of momentum formulas in decaying atoms
32 Size of an Atom If a basket ball = a uranium nucleus Electron orbits would be 7.2 miles away Atom mostly empty space
33 Orbital shells K- Q Different Binding energies for shells & atoms Principle Quantum Number Formula 2n 2 Octet Rule - Outer shell electrons never more than 8 electrons

38 Radioactivity The emission of particles and energy in order to become stable Transforms into another atom Atoms that can do this are called Radionuclides
39 Radioisotopes Undergo disintegration to bring neutrons & protons into stable arrangement Barium Radioisotopes Bushong page 37 Artificially produced or naturally occurring Ex: Uranium that decays to Radon Emit Alpha & Beta particles & gamma rays
40 Carbon 14
41 Beta Emission Beta ejected from nucleus Nucleus loses mass and one unit of negative charge Neutron undergoes conversion to proton Iodine is now Xenon
42 Alpha Emission Alpha particle = 2 protons & 2 neutrons = 4 AMU Violent reaction very unstable atom
43 Half Life The time required for a quantity of radioactivity to be reduced to one half its original value 3.3 half lives = 1 tenth life Radioactive Decay Law provides T ½ Graph shows amount of radioactivity after time in days
