a. Heinrich Geissler dr


b. Wilhelm Roentgen dr


c. Johann Hittorf dr


d. William Crookes dr




ANSWER: B dr


Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr d r dr dr dr


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


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


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


cathode rays were streams of charged particles.

dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


a. Increased patient radiation exposure dr dr dr


b. Increased patient comfort dr dr


c. Increased speed for viewing images dr dr dr dr


d. Increased chemical usage dr dr




ANSWER: C dr


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


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


image from digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor without the

need for chemical processing. This allows for immediate interpretation and evaluation.
