MULTIPLE CHOICE gg




1. The use of x-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


a. electrocardiography.
b. radiography.
c. sonography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. gg gg




ANS: B
Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


x- rays or gamma rays through the body. These records or images are typically
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


referred to as radiographs.

REF: p. 4 gg




2. Particular care must be taken when using radiation for medical imaging. This is the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


result of radiation’s ability to create in human tissue and possible biochemical
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


changes.
gg


a. ionizations
b. radio waves gg


c. sound waves gg


d. thermal changes gg




ANS: A
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-rays, have the ability to ionize atoms
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


in matter. These ionizations have the ability to disrupt the composition of matter and
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


are capable of disrupting life processes. Special protection should be provided to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


prevent excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.
gg gg gg gg gg gg




REF: p. 3 gg




3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


medical diagnostic modalities. A few of these involve the use of ionizing energy to
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


create a medical image. If a physician is concerned about the use of ionizing
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


radiation, he or she may choose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


EXCEPT
gg


a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography. gg


c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. gg gg




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


procedures such as thermograms, sonograms, and magnetic resonance scans use
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


nonionizing energy forms and consequently do not produce ionizations in human
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


tissue. They are regarded as nonionizing modalities for imaging and offer excellent
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


alternatives to physicians concerned about radiation exposure to patients.

4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine. All of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


the following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


a. use of high ethical standards of conduct.
gg gg gg gg gg gg


b. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft.
gg gg gg gg gg gg


c. importance of closely monitoring a patient’s condition and recovery.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


d. value of diet and exercise and allowing nature to take its course in recovery.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




ANS: B
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


explanations
gg for the treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The
g g gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


Hippocratic oath still governs the ethical conduct of physicians today.

5. Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements have been recorded.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


These events have led to our current understanding of the human organism and
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


ggdisease. As this research continues, much of it will most likely focus on
gg g g gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


a. proper sanitation and public health.
gg gg gg gg


b. immunology and the development of vaccines. gg gg gg gg gg


c. germ theory and infection. gg gg gg


d. human genes and genetic engineering. gg gg gg gg




ANS: D
Although the Human Genome Project is finished, analyses of the data will continue
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


for many years. The replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


promises of cures for a variety of hereditary diseases, and through genetic
gg gg g g gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


engineering, important pharmaceuticals continue to be developed. Medical research
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


will continue to focus on the genetic code in all cells.

6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen’s discovery of ―the x-ray‖ is regarded as one of medicine’s
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


most significant achievements. Although his discovery was accidental, his early
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


research was so thorough that no significant findings have been added to his
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


original theories. This in itself is a true tribute to the brilliance of Roentgen as a
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


scientist. One of the most famous early images he created was an x-ray image
gg gg gg gg gg g g gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


of his
gg gg


a. colon.
b. laboratory assistant’s foot. gg gg


c. wife’s hand. gg


d. kidneys.
ANS: C
November 8, 1895, is believed by historians to be the day that Roentgen created the
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


famous image of the hand of his wife. Through his investigative methods,
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


Roentgen identified the properties of x-rays.

, 7. Avaluable x-ray procedure used to diagnose a myocardial infarction is
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


a. mammography.
b. myelography.
c. arthrography.
d. coronary arteriography. gg




ANS: D
Coronary arteriography is an extremely valuable tool in diagnosing atherosclerosis,
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


which can block the coronary arteries and cause a heart attack (myocardial
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


infarction). By way of a special catheter with a balloon tip, effective treatment of
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


atherosclerosis is possible.
gg gg gg


This treatment of a blocked blood vessel is termed angioplasty. Angioplasty is
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


used to treat patients without having to use invasive open-heart surgery.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg




REF: p. 8 gg




8. All of the following are true of the diagnostic procedure of mammography EXCEPT
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


a. it is very valuable for the detection of early breast cancers.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


b. the procedures may be performed using a general radiographic machine.
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


c. radiographers need to be specially trained in order to perform mammography.gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


d. radiographers must be certified by the ARRT to qualify for the gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


mammography examination.
gg gg




ANS: B
Special breast imaging centers have been built to accommodate the demand for
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


mammography procedures. Equipment and supplies, such as a specially designed x-ray
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


tube and high-resolution digital imaging detectors, are used to create high-
gg gg g g gg gg gg g g gg gg gg gg


quality breast images. Mammography cannot be performed using general x-ray
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


equipment.

9. To study the blood vessels of the brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs, contrast
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


material is administered into these vessels by using
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


a. catheters.
b. stents.
c. balloons.
d. none of the above. gg gg gg




ANS: A
Angiography is the term for radiologic examination of the blood vessels after
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


injection of
gg a contrast medium. Most often, the contrast material is injected
gg g g gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


through a catheter, which can be directed to a variety of major arteries or
gg gg gg gg gg g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


veins for visualization of these structures.

10. Radiologic science continues to be one of the most exciting professions in
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


ggmedicine. An imaging modality that uses no ionizing radiation and the energy
gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg


ggof radio waves and magnetic fields is
gg gg gg gg gg gg


a. nuclear imaging. gg


b. thermography.
c. CVIT.
