Which statement best differentiates deterministic effects from stochastic effects in radiology, with an example?

• A. Deterministic effects have a dose threshold with severity rising with dose; stochastic effects have no true threshold and cancer risk increases with dose.
• B. Deterministic effects have no threshold; stochastic effects have thresholds; example cancer for stochastic.
• C. Both have clear thresholds; dose and risk not dependent on dose.
• D. Deterministic effects are rare; stochastic are common; example radiation dermatitis.

Answer: (A)
