MULTIPLE CHOICE /f




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


a. electrocardiography.
b. radiography.
c. sonography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. /f /f




ANS: B
Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of x-
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


rays or gamma rays through the body. These records or images are typically referred to as
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


radiographs.
/f




REF: p. 4 /f




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


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


changes.
/f


a. ionizations
b. radio waves /f


c. sound waves /f


d. thermal changes /f




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


matter. These ionizations have the ability to disrupt the composition of matter and are
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


capable of disrupting life processes. Special protection should be provided to prevent
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.
/f /f /f /f /f




REF: p. 3 /f




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


diagnostic modalities. A few of these involve the use of ionizing energy to create a
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


medical image. If a physician is concerned about the use of ionizing radiation, he or
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


she may choose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities EXCEPT
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography. /f


c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. /f /f




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


procedures such as thermograms, sonograms, and magnetic resonance scans use
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


nonionizing energy forms and consequently do not produce ionizations in human tissue.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


They are regarded as nonionizing modalities for imaging and offer excellent alternatives
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


to physicians concerned about radiation exposure to patients.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f

, REF: / f / f / f pp. 3-4 /f




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


following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


a. use of high ethical standards of conduct.
/f /f /f /f /f /f


b. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft. /f /f /f /f /f /f


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


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




ANS: B
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural explanations
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


/for the treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The Hippocratic oath still
f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


/governs the ethical conduct of physicians today.
f /f /f /f /f /f /f




REF: p. 5 /f




5. Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements have been recorded. These
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


events have led to our current understanding of the human organism and disease. As
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


this research continues, much of it will most likely focus on
/ f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


a. proper sanitation and public health. /f /f /f /f


b. immunology and the development of vaccines. /f /f /f /f /f


c. germ theory and infection. /f /f /f


d. human genes and genetic engineering. /f /f /f /f




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


many years. The replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers promises of
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


/ cures for a variety of hereditary diseases, and through genetic engineering, important
f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


pharmaceuticals continue to be developed. Medical research will continue to focus on
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


the genetic code in all cells.
/f /f /f /f /f /f




REF: p. 6 /f




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


most significant achievements.Although his discovery was accidental, his early
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


research was so thorough that no significant findings have been added to his original
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


theories. This in itself is a true tribute to the brilliance of Roentgen as a scientist. One
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


of the most famous early images he created was an x-ray image of his
/f /f /f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


a. colon.
b. laboratory assistant’s foot. /f /f


c. wife’s hand. /f


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


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


Roentgen identified the properties of x-rays.
/f / f /f /f /f /f




REF: p. 6 /f

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


a. mammography.
b. myelography.
c. arthrography.
d. coronary arteriography. /f




ANS: D
Coronary arteriography is an extremely valuable tool in diagnosing atherosclerosis, which
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


can block the coronary arteries and cause a heart attack (myocardial infarction). By way
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


of a special catheter with a balloon tip, effective treatment of atherosclerosis is possible.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


This treatment of a blocked blood vessel is termed angioplasty. Angioplasty is used to
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


treat patients without having to use invasive open-heart surgery.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f




REF: p. 8 /f




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


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


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


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


d. radiographers must be certified by theARRT to qualify for the mammography /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


examination. /f




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


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


tube and high-resolution digital imaging detectors, are used to create high-quality
/f /f / f /f /f /f / f /f /f / f /f


breast images. Mammography cannot be performed using general x-ray equipment.
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f




REF: p. 8 /f




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


is administered into these vessels by using
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f


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




ANS: A
Angiography is the term for radiologic examination of the blood vessels after injection
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


of a contrast medium. Most often, the contrast material is injected through a catheter,
/f / f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


which can be directed to a variety of major arteries or veins for
/f /f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f / f


visualization of these structures.
/ f / f / f /f




REF: p. 8 /f




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


medicine. An imaging modality that uses no ionizing radiation and the energy of
/f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f /f


radio waves and magnetic fields is
/f /f /f /f /f /f


a. nuclear imaging. /f


b. thermography.
c. CVIT.
