Which one of the following cardinal principles of radiation protection is most effective in reducing the dose to the technologist during fluoroscopy?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distance is the most effective principle in reducing the dose to the technologist during fluoroscopy because radiation exposure decreases exponentially with distance. By increasing the distance between the technologist and the radiation source (patient), the technologist can reduce their exposure to radiation. The other principles (time, intensity, and shielding) can also help in reducing dose, but they are not as effective as distance in fluoroscopy.
