3. Your patient asked you why dental images are important. Which of the following
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


is thecorrect response?
pg pg pg pg


a. An oral examination with dental images limits the practitioner to what is

ANSWER: D pg


An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


clinically. Many dental diseases and conditions produce no clinical signs and symptoms.

4. The x-ray was discovered by
pg pg pg pg


a. Heinrich Geissler pg


b. Wilhelm Roentgen pg


c. Johann Hittorf pg


d. William Crookes pg




ANSWER: B pg


Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg p g pg pg pg


x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that discharges emitted
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


from the negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat,
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


and resultedin a greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


that cathode rays were streams of charged particles.

8. Which of the following is an advantage of digital imaging?
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


a. Increased patient radiation exposure pg pg pg


b. Increased patient comfort pg pg


c. Increased speed for viewing images pg pg pg pg


d. Increased chemical usage pg pg




ANSWER: C pg


Patient exposure is reduced with digital imaging. Digital sensors are more sensitive to x-
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


rays than film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort.
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


The image from digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor
pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg pg


without the need for chemical processing. This allows for immediate interpretation and

evaluation. The image fromdigital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and
