1. Radiation is defined as
n
a. a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles.
al
b. a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record imageshadows on a
receptor.
c. a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with ametal target in an
x-ray tube.
d. a branch of medicine that deals with the use of x-rays.
ANSWER: A
Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles. An x- ray is a beam ofenergy 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 ametal 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 theiicorrect
response?
al
a. An oral examination with dental images limits the practitioner to what is seeniiclinically.
b. All dental diseases and conditions produce clinical signs and symptoms.
c. Dental images are not a necessary component of comprehensive patient care.
d. Many dental diseases are typically discovered only through the use of dentalimages.
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 imagesiiare a necessary
component of comprehensive patient care. Many dental diseases are typically discovered only through the
use of dental images.

a. Heinrich Geissler
b. Wilhelm Roentgen
c. Johann Hittorf
d. William Crookes
ANSWER: B
Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that discharges emitted from the negative
electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat, and resultediiin a greenish
fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that cathode rays were streams of charged
particles.

ANSWER: C
Otto Walkoff was a German dentist who made the first dental radiograph. Wilhelm Roentgenwas a
Bavarian physicist who discovered the x-ray. Edmund Kells exposed the first dental radiograph in the
United States using a live person. Price introduced the bisecting technique in 1904.
