Labeling of graphs should specify the radiation exposure response type as
- linear or nonlinear
- threshold or nonthreshold.
Labeling should also assess whether the dose response is indicative of the development of conditions such as
- cataracts
- leukemia
- erythema
- anemia
- breast cancer.
Process/Skill Questions:
- What are the various dose-response relationships?
- What are the differences between linear and nonlinear responses?
- How can a pathology be measured by dose-response relationships?
