Biological Effects of Radiation02:59

Biological Effects of Radiation

17.7K
All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Radiation: Applications

The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations

6.9K
The German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) was the first to generate and detect certain types of electromagnetic waves in the laboratory. Starting in 1887, he performed a series of experiments that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves and verified that they travel at the speed of light. Hertz used an alternating-current RLC (resistor-inductor-capacitor) circuit that resonated at a known frequency and connected it to a loop of wire. High voltages induced across the gap in...

Radiation Pressure: Problem Solving

The radiation pressure applied by an electromagnetic wave on a perfectly absorbing surface equals the energy density of the wave. The wave's momentum also gets transferred to the surface when an electromagnetic wave is entirely absorbed by it. The rate at which momentum is transmitted to an absorbing surface perpendicular to the propagation direction equals the force on the surface.
The average value of the rate of momentum transfer divided by the absorbing area represents the average force...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging Technology
  • Radiation Therapy
  • Professional Development

Background:

  • The Tom Baker Cancer Center (TBCC) in Alberta serves approximately 2,800 patients annually.
  • The Radiation Treatment Program (RTP) at TBCC performs 220-240 intravenous procedures with contrast media each year.
  • Radiation therapists are licensed by the Alberta College of Medical Diagnostic and Therapeutic Technologists (ACMDTT).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development of a radiation therapy venipuncture certification process.
  • To implement an extended role for radiation therapists in performing venipuncture.
  • To explain the use of an algorithm as a design tool for educational programs.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a locally based education and experiential learning certification program.
  • Utilization of an algorithm as a design tool by RTP radiation therapist educators.
  • Program endorsement by RTP administration and the ACMDTT.

Main Results:

  • A certification process enabling radiation therapists to perform venipuncture was successfully created.
  • The program was developed using an algorithm-based design.
  • The certification process was endorsed by key administrative and regulatory bodies.

Conclusions:

  • The developed certification program effectively expands the role of radiation therapists.
  • Algorithm-based design is a viable tool for creating specialized educational programs.
  • Further research can explore the validity of algorithms in educational design for healthcare professionals.
