Title: Describe the physical and biological factors that have an effect on radiation response.
Course: Radiologic Technology II (14105-II) > Section: Examining Radiobiology

Description should include

- the energy level of radiation
- the total amount administered
- the timeframe in which the dose is given
- the metabolic state of tissue
- tissue oxygenation
- disease progression
- the age of the patient
- skin pigmentation
- structural morphology.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the physical factors that affect radiation response?
- What are the biological factors that affect radiation response?
- What is meant by metabolic state?
- What is meant by oxygenation?
- What is disease progression? How does that affect radiation treatment?
