MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Film And Intensifying Screens Are Primarily Used In
A. Computed Radiography (CR).
B. Digital Radiography (Dr).
C. Conventional Radiography.
ANS. C
Conventional Radiography Relies On Film-Screen Technology, Where X-Rays Expose
The Film And Intensifying Screens Convert X-Ray Photons Into Visible Light To Reduce
Patient Dose. Cr And Dr Use Digital Detectors Instead Of Film.
OBJ: Explain Latent Image Formation For Conventional Radiography.
2. Intensifying Screens
A. Absorb Light.
B. Emit Light.
C. Absorb Scatter.
D. Emit Positive Electrons
ANS. B
Intensifying Screens Contain Phosphors That Fluoresce When Struck By X-Rays,
Emitting Visible Light. This Light Exposes The Film, Creating The Latent Image. They
Do Not Absorb Light Or Scatter, Nor Do They Emit Electrons.
OBJ: Explain Latent Image Formation For Conventional Radiography.
, 3. Which Modality Was The First To Use The Principle Of Digital Imaging?
A. Computed Tomography (Ct)
B. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Mri)
C. Ultrasonography
D. Cardiac Catheterization
ANS. A
Ct Was The First Modality To Incorporate Digital Imaging Principles. It Reconstructs
Cross-Sectional Images From Raw Data Using Computer Algorithms, Marking The
Beginning Of Digital Imaging In Medicine.
OBJ: Define The Term Digital Imaging.
4. Who Was The First To Incorporate Digital Imaging With The Ct Scanner?
A. Paul Lauterbur
B. Godfrey Hounsfield
C. Sol Nudelman
D. M. Paul Capp
ANS. B
Godfrey Hounsfield Is Credited With Developing The First Ct Scanner In The Early
1970s, Introducing Digital Image Reconstruction To Medical Imaging.
OBJ: Define The Term Digital Imaging.
5. Teleradiology, Moving Images Via Telephone Lines To Remote Locations, Was First
Conceptualized By
A. Paul Lauterbur.
B. M. Paul Capp.
C. Albert Jutras.
D. Sol Nudelman.
ANS. C
