a. a ||form ||of ||energy ||carried ||by ||waves ||or ||streams ||of ||particles.
b. a ||beam ||of ||energy ||that ||has ||the ||power ||to ||penetrate ||substances ||and ||record
image|shadows ||on ||a ||receptor.
||

ANSWER: | | A
Radiation ||is ||a ||form ||of ||energy ||carried ||by ||waves ||or ||streams ||of ||particles. ||An ||x-ray ||is ||a ||beam
||of|energy ||that ||has ||the ||power ||to ||penetrate ||substances ||and ||record ||image ||shadows ||on ||a

||receptor.

X-radiation ||is ||a ||high-energy ||radiation ||produced ||by ||the ||collision ||of ||a ||beam ||of ||electrons ||with
||a|metal ||target ||in ||an ||x-ray ||tube. ||Radiology ||is ||a ||branch ||of ||medicine ||that ||deals ||with ||the ||use ||of

x-rays.

3. Your ||patient ||asked ||you ||why ||dental ||images ||are ||important. ||Which ||of ||the ||following ||is
the|correct ||response?
||

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

, c. Dental ||images ||are ||not ||a ||necessary ||component ||of ||comprehensive ||patient ||care.
d. Many ||dental ||diseases ||are ||typically ||discovered ||only ||through ||the ||use ||of
dental|images.
||



ANSWER: | | D
An ||oral ||examination ||without ||dental ||images ||limits ||the ||practitioner ||to ||what ||is ||seen ||clinically.
||Many ||dental ||diseases ||and ||conditions ||produce ||no ||clinical ||signs ||and ||symptoms. ||Dental ||images

|are ||a ||necessary ||component ||of ||comprehensive ||patient ||care. ||Many ||dental ||diseases ||are ||typically

||discovered ||only ||through || the ||use ||of ||dental ||images.

a. Heinrich ||Geissler

||resulted|in ||a ||greenish ||fluorescence. ||William ||Crookes ||discovered ||in ||the ||late ||1870s ||that

||cathode ||rays ||were ||streams ||of ||charged ||particles.

a. Increased ||patient ||radiation ||exposure
b. Increased ||patient ||comfort
c. Increased ||speed ||for ||viewing ||images
d. Increased ||chemical ||usage
ANSWER: | | C
Patient ||exposure ||is ||reduced ||with ||digital ||imaging. ||Digital ||sensors ||are ||more ||sensitive ||to ||x-rays
||than ||film. ||Digital ||sensors ||are ||rigid ||and ||bulky, ||causing ||decreased ||patient ||comfort. ||The ||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. ||The ||image
