RADT 1010 FINAL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. The use of x-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as:: radi-
ography
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 medi-
cine. All of the following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the:: im-
portant 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 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
organs, 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 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:: bio-
medical 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 degree
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:: accred-
itation.
19. Professional certification of medical imaging practitioners, such as radiogra-
phers, is offered by the American:: Registry of Radiologic 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, Illinois
each year in late November is the:: Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).
