MULTIPLE CHOICE
Ex
1. The use of x-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as
a. electrocardiography.
cy
b. radiography.
er
c. sonography.
M
d. magnetic resonance imaging.
@
Answer: B
Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of x-rays or
gamma rays through the body. These records or images are typically referred to as radiographs.
REF: p. 4
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.
a. ionizations
b. radio waves
c. sound waves
d. thermal changes
Answer: A
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in
matter. These ionizations have the ability to disrupt the composition of matter and are capable of
disrupting life processes. Special protection should be provided to prevent excessive exposure to
ionizing radiation.
REF: p. 3
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

a. thermograms.
pe
b. medical sonography.
Ex
c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging.
cy
Answer: C
er
Radiography involves the use of x-rays for the production of medical images. Medical
M
procedures such as thermograms, sonograms, and magnetic resonance scans use nonionizing
energy forms and consequently do not produce ionizations in human tissue. They are regarded as
@
nonionizing modalities for imaging and offer excellent alternatives to physicians concerned
about radiation exposure to patients.
REF: pp. 3-4
4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine. All of the
following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the
a. use of high ethical standards of conduct.
b. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft.
c. importance of closely monitoring a patient’s condition and recovery.
d. value of diet and exercise and allowing nature to take its course in recovery.
Answer: B
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural explanations for the
treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The Hippocratic oath still governs the ethical
conduct of physicians today.
REF: p. 5
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
a. proper sanitation and public health.
b. immunology and the development of vaccines.
c. germ theory and infection.
