| What are the 3 cardinal principles of radiation protection? | 1. Time 2. Distance 3. Shielding |
| What are 4 ways of achieving A.L.A.R.A? | 1. Wear a dosimeter 2. mechanical holding devices 3. close collimation, avoid repeat projections 4. time, distance, shielding |

| What's the primary cause for repeat radiographs? | poor communication between the rad tech and the patient |
| What are 2 ways collimation will reduce patient exposure | 1. reduces scatter 2. decreases tissue exposure |
