question 10
what is the alara principle in radiography?
a guideline to keep radiation exposure \as low as reasonably achievable\
a technique for increasing radiation exposure
a method for sterilizing radiographic equipment
a new type of digital radiography sensor
ALARA stands for "As Low As Reasonably Achievable". In radiography, it is a fundamental principle aimed at minimizing radiation exposure to patients and radiology staff. This principle ensures that radiation doses are kept to the lowest possible level while still achieving the diagnostic or therapeutic goal. The other options are incorrect: increasing radiation exposure (opposite of ALARA), sterilizing equipment (unrelated to radiation exposure principle), and a new sensor (not related to the principle's definition).
