Primer on Radiation Measurement
In the aftermath of a radiological emergency the public will see radiation and its potential hazards described in many different and sometimes confusing ways. This primer is intended to help journalists and community leaders understand these terms.
Activity or radioactivity is measured by the number of atoms disintegrating per unit time. A becquerel is 1 disintegration per second. A curie is 37 billion disintegrations per second, which is the number of disintegrations per second in 1 gram of pure radium. A disintegrating atom can emit a beta particle, an alpha particle, a gamma ray, or some combination of all these, so becquerels or curies alone do not provide enough information to assess the risk to a person from a radioactive source.
Disintegrating atoms emit different forms of radiation–—alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, or x-rays. As radiation moves through the body, it dislodges electrons from atoms, disrupting molecules. Each time this happens, the radiation loses some energy until it escapes from the body or disappears. The energy deposited indicates the number of molecules disrupted. The energy the radiation deposits in tissue is called the dose, or more correctly, the absorbed dose. The units of measure for absorbed dose are the gray (1 joule per kilogram of tissue) or the rad (1/100 of a gray). The cumulative dose is the total absorbed dose or energy deposited by the body or a region of the body from repeated or prolonged exposures.
Alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and x-rays affect tissue in different ways. Alpha particles disrupt more molecules in a shorter distance than gamma rays. A measure of the biologic risk of the energy deposited is the dose equivalent. The units of dose equivalent are sieverts or rem. Dose equivalent is calculated by multiplying the absorbed dose by a quality factor.
Sometimes a large number of people have been exposed to a source of ionizing radiation. To assess the potential health effects, scientists often multiply the exposure per person by the number of persons and call this the collective dose. Collective dose is expressed as “person-rem” or “person-sieverts.”

Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm with Talent endovascular graft with a "36 20 155" left main body and a "14 20 90 right limb with a P 50 10" Palmaz stent placed across the aortic seal zone.

This one's stumping me after 15 years of experience... medical student dictating a report on social history:
The patient drinks one martini a day. The patient denies tobacco use. The patient denies ___________ (s/l - no kidding - really - "beetle nuts.")
Diagnosis is squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth - ENT tumor board report. Thought it could be something to do with chewing tobacco - something of that nature, definitely not saying "drug abuse."
Any ideas? I did leave a blank, but I'm hoping someone might put my mind back on the right page... beetle nuts? Give me a break. 
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Well, it could be...
He has an unstable injury and should heal, with fatigue immobilization, appeared to keep using boot.
Meaning the injury is unstable but should heal, because of the amount of fatigue immobilization (meaning fatigue from immobilization) he appeared to keep using the boot. Continuing to use the boot as directed caused the fatigue immobilization?
That is the only thing I can think of. Good luck with that!

she was looking for the plural form of decubitus, saying she got stumped by it. I responded very simply to that.

I pointed out that there are no plural form for decubitus. This is all correct. What is your problem.

The first thing you should learn is HOW to ask a question. You can't just jump in with one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and cry for help. You need to give some example of what you are looking for. People on this board do not mind helping you or they would not be here, but a little more information on your part would help us help you. Medical transcription is more than just one word or half a phrase or a sound-like and most times it is necessary to give some indication of what is wrong with the patient or a diagnosis in order to get an answer.
