CHAPTER 01: INTRODUCTION TO RADIOLOGIC SCIENCES
Q1. The use of X-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred
to as:
CORRECT ANS: Radiography
Q2. Particular care must be taken when using radiation for medical
imaging. This is the result of radiation's ability to create ___________ in
human tissue and possible biochemical changes:
CORRECT ANS: Ionizations
Q3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select
from an array of medical diagnostic modalities. Some of these involve
the use of ionizing energy to create a medical 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:
CORRECT ANS: Radiography
Q4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of
Western medicine. All of the following choices represent his medical
, beliefs except the:
CORRECT ANS: Important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft
Q5. Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements
have been recorded. These events have led to our current
understanding of the human organism and disease. As this research
continues, much of it will most likely focus on:
CORRECT ANS: Human genes and genetic engineering
Q6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen's discovery of "the X-ray" is regarded as one
of medicine's most significant achievements. Although his discovery
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 Roentgen as a scientist. One of the most
famous early images he created was an X-ray image of his:
CORRECT ANS: Wife's hand
Q7. A valuable X-ray procedure used to diagnose a myocardial
infarction is:
CORRECT ANS: Coronary arteriography
Q8. All of the following are true of the diagnostic procedure of
mammography except:
CORRECT ANS: The procedures may be performed using a general
radiographic machine
Q9. To study the blood vessels of the brain, kidneys, liver, and other
organs, contrast material is administered into these vessels by:
CORRECT ANS: Catheters
