Answer to Question 1

Relative Biological Effect

Rationale: Biologic damage due to radiation interaction increases as the Linear Energy Transfer of radiation increases.

Answer to Question 2

towards the cathode

Rationale: According to the anode heel effect, the thicker part or the heel should be aligned with the cathode end of the tube to assist with production of more uniform density.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
