RADT 1010 FINAL
1. The use of x-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred
to as:: radiography
2. 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.: ionizations
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 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:: radiography
4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western
medicine. All of the following choices represent his medical beliefs
EXCEPT the:: important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft.
5. 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:: human genes and genetic engineering.
6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen's discovery of "the x-ray" is regarded as one of
medi- cine's most significant achievements. Although his discovery was
, RADT 1010 FINAL
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:: wife's hand.
7. A valuable x-ray procedure used to diagnose a myocardial infarction
would be:: coronary arteriography.
8. All of the following are true of the diagnostic procedure of mammography
EXCEPT:: the procedures may be performed using a general
radiographic machine.
9. In order to study the blood vessels of the brain, kidneys, liver, and other
or- gans, contrast material is administered into these vessels by using::
catheters.
10.Radiologic sciences continues to be one of the most exciting
professions in medicine. An imaging modality that uses no ionizing
radiation and the energy of radio waves and magnetic fields is:: MRI.
11.A physician who specializes in the interpretation of medical images
is known as a:: radiologist.
12.A class of health care workers who specialize in carrying out
treatments designed to improve a patient's health condition and quality of
, RADT 1010 FINAL
life and who likely possess a 2- or 4-year degree are known as:: therapists.
13.The health occupation that deals with the management of patient
medical records and medical coding is:: health information services.
14. All of the following are typical members of the radiology team EXCEPT::
biomedical engineer.
15.The medical imaging specialty of uses radiopharmaceuticals
and gamma radiation in the production of medical images for patient
diagnosis.: - nuclear medicine
16.The current medical standard for measuring bone health with a high
de- gree of accuracy is:: DEXA studies of the hip and lower spine.
17.Many medical professions have developed "Practice Standards" to
ensure optimum performance of their members. The radiography "Practice
Stan- dards" are developed and maintained by the:: American Society of
Radiologic Technologists (ASRT).
18.The process whereby an organization seeks recognition from its
peer groups through demonstrated compliance with developed
standards is termed:: accreditation.
19.Professional certification of medical imaging practitioners, such as
radi- ographers, is offered by the American:: Registry of Radiologic
, RADT 1010 FINAL
Technologists.
20.There are many organizations involved with medical imaging that
make up this great profession. A common goal of all of these
organizations is to:: accomplish all of the above.
21.A radiographer looking to relocate to another state for similar
employment is advised to check into that State's requirements to ensure
qualified employability.: licensure
22.The organization that sponsors an international meeting in Chicago, Illi-
nois each year in late November is the:: Radiological Society of North
America (RSNA).
23. The oldest radiologic society in the medical imaging profession is the:: -
American Roentgen Ray Society.
24.Accredited programs in radiologic technology are recognized by the
Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT).
Pro- grams seeking this recognition necessarily must comply with the
JRCERT:: - Standards or Essentials.
25.The organization that is principally responsible for the general welfare
of the profession of radiologic technology, through its efforts in continuing
education, practice standards, and socioeconomics is the:: American
