Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of x-
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
ss rays or gamma rays through the body. These records or images are typically referred to
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss

a. ionizations

d. thermal changes ss
ANS: A
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
ss matter. These ionizations have the ability to disrupt the composition of matter and are
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
ss capable of disrupting life processes. Special protection should be provided to prevent

ANS: C
Radiography involves the use of x-rays for the production of medical images. Medical
ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss

ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss ss
