MULTIPLE CHOICE
1.The use of x-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as
ru
a. electrocardiography.
b. radiography.
c. sonography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging.
ANSWER: B
Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of x- rays or gamma
rays through the body. These records or images are typically referred to a s radiographs.
REF: p. 4
2.Particular care must be taken when using radiation for medical imaging. This is the result6 of
radiation’s ability to create in human tissue and possible biochemical changes
a. ionizations
b. radio waves
c. sound waves
d. thermal changes
ANSWER: A
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in matter. These
ionizations have the ability to disru pt the composition of matter and are capable of disrupting life
processes. Special protecti on should be provided to prevent excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.
REF: p. 3
3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of medical
diagnostic modalities. A few of these involve the use of ionizing energy to create a medi cal image. If a
physician is concerned about the use of ionizing radiation, he or she may choose to order any of the
following diagnostic modalities EXCEPT
a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography.
c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging.

ANSWER: C
Gu
Radiography involves the use of x-
rays for the production of medical images. Medical procedures such as thermograms, sono grams, and
ru
magnetic resonance scans use nonionizing energy forms and consequently do not produce ionizations in
human tissue. They are regarded as nonionizing modalities for i maging and offer excellent alternatives to
physicians concerned about radiation exposure t o patients.
REF: pp. 3-4
4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine. All of t he
following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the
a. use of high ethical standards of conduct.
b. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft.
c. importance of closely monitoring a patient’s condition and recovery.
d. value of diet and exercise and allowing nature to take its course in recovery.
ANSWER: B
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural explanations f or the
treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The Hippocratic oath still gover ns the ethical conduct
of physicians today.
REF: p. 5
5. Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements have been recorded. Thes e events
have led to our current understanding of the human organism and disease. As6 this research continues,
much of it will most likely focus on
a. proper sanitation and public health.
b. immunology and the development of vaccines.
c. germ theory and infection.
d. human genes and genetic engineering.
ANSWER: D
Although the Human Genome Project is finished, analyses of the data will continue for many years. The
replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers promises of cure s for a variety of hereditary
diseases, and through genetic engineering, important pharma ceuticals continue to be developed. Medical
research will continue to focus on the geneti c code in all cells.

6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen’s discovery of ―the x-
ru
ray‖ is regarded as one of medicine’s most significant achievements. Although his disco very was
accidental, his early research was so thorough that no significant findings have been added to his original
theories. This in itself is a true tribute to the brilliance of Ro entgen as a scientist. One of the most famous
early images he created was an x-
ray image of his
a. colon.
b. laboratory assistant’s foot.
c. wife’s hand.
d. kidneys.
ANSWER: C
November 8, 1895, is believed by historians to be the day that Roentgen created the famo us image of the
hand of his wife. Through his investigative methods, Roentgen identified the properties of x-rays.
REF: p. 6
7. A valuable x-ray procedure used to diagnose a myocardial infarction is
a. mammography.
b. myelography.
c. arthrography.
d. coronary arteriography.
ANSWER: D
Coronary arteriography is an extremely valuable tool in diagnosing atherosclerosis, which can block the
coronary arteries and cause a heart attack (myocardial infarction). By way o f a special catheter with a
balloon tip, effective treatment of atherosclerosis is possible. T his treatment of a blocked blood vessel is
termed angioplasty. Angioplasty is used to treat patients without having to use invasive open-heart
surgery.
REF: p. 8
