Linear energy transfer and sieverts.

By

I posted a few days ago and wanted to say thank you for the help last time.

I'm not studying radiology or anything healthcare related but I'm working on a physics project. Also I'm bad at math and physics, but onwards.

So my understanding is that sieverts are a measure of how much radiation, type of radiation, and location of radiation in the body to determine the dose someone is exposed to.

Linear energy transfer is how much radiation is being deposited in tissue along its journey of being scattered or emitted from it's source.

These two are linked are they not? Or are they talking about two different phenomenon? Would linear energy transfer be linked to type of radiation and amount?

Or how else could I link them or talk about them?

Thank you!

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
