MULTIPLE CHOICE
• Radiation is defined as
a. a form of energy carried by waves or
streams of particles.
b. a beam of energy that has the power to
penetrate substances and record image
shadows on a receptor.
c. a high-energy radiation produced by the
collision of a beam of electrons with a
metal target in an x-ray tube.

ANS: A
Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles. An x-ray is a beamof energy
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 a metal target in an x-
ray tube. Radiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the use of x-rays.

• A radiograph is defined as
a. a beam of energy that has the power to
penetrate substances and record image
shadows on a receptor.
b. a picture on film produced by the passage
of x-rays through an object or body.
c. the art and science of making radiographs
by the exposure of an image receptor to x-
rays.
