Chapter 01: Radiation History u u u




u MULTIPLE CHOICE u




1. Radiation is defined as u u u




a. a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles.
u u u u u u u u u u




b. a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


on a receptor.
u u u




c. a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a metal
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


target in an x-ray tube.
u u u u u




d. a branch of medicine that deals with the use of x-rays.
u u u u u u u u u u




ANSWER- A u




Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles. An x-ray is a beam of
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows on a receptor.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




X-radiation is a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


metal target in an x-ray tube. Radiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the use of
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




x-rays.

u u u u u




a. a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


on a receptor.

c. the art and science of making radiographs by the exposure of an image receptor to x-rays.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u




d. a form of energy carried by waves or a stream of particles.
u u u u u u u u u u u




ANSWER- B u




An x-ray is a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


shadows on a receptor. A radiograph is a picture on film produced by the passage of x-rays
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


through an object or body. Radiography is the art and science of making dental images by the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


exposure of a receptor to x-rays. Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


particles.

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


correct response?
u u




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




b. All dental diseases and conditions produce clinical signs and symptoms.
u u u u u u u u u




c. Dental images are not a necessary component of comprehensive patient care.
u u u u u u u u u u




d. Many dental diseases are typically discovered only through the use of dental images.
u u u u u u u u u u u u




ANSWER- D u




An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


Many dental diseases and conditions produce no clinical signs and symptoms. Dental images are
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


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


discovered only through the use of dental images.

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




a. Heinrich Geissler u




b. Wilhelm Roentgen u




c. Johann Hittorf u




d. William Crookes u




ANSWER- B u




Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
u u u u u u u u u u u u




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


negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat, and resulted in a
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that cathode rays were
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


streams of charged particles.

5. Who exposed the first dental radiograph in the United States using a live person?
u u u u u u u u u u u u u




a. Otto Walkoff u




b. Wilhelm Roentgen u




c. Edmund Kells u




d. Weston Price u




ANSWER- C u




Otto Walkoff was a German dentist who made the first dental radiograph. Wilhelm Roentgen
u u u u u u u u u u u u u


was a Bavarian physicist who discovered the x-ray. Edmund Kells exposed the first dental
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


radiograph in the United States using a live person. Price introduced the bisecting technique in
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u


1904.
