MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Radiation is defined as
a. a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles.
b. a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances
and record image shadows on a receptor.
c. a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of
electrons with a metal target in an x-ray tube.
d. a branch of medicine that deals with the use of x-rays.
ANS: A
Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles.
An x-ray is a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances
and record image shadows on a receptor.
X-radiation is a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam
of electrons with a metal target in an x-ray tube. Radiology is a branch
of medicine that deals with the use of
x-rays.

3. Your patient asked you why dental images are important. Which of
the following is the correct response?
a. An oral examination with dental images limits the practitioner
to what is seen clinically.
b. All dental diseases and conditions produce clinical signs and symptoms.

the use of dental images.
ANS: D
An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is
seen clinically. Many dental diseases and conditions produce no clinical
signs and symptoms. Dental images are a necessary component of
comprehensive patient care. Many dental diseases are typically discovered
only through the use of dental images.

4. The x-ray was discovered by
a. Heinrich Geissler
b. Wilhelm Roentgen
c. Johann Hittorf
d. William Crookes
ANS: B
Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen
discovered the
x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that
discharges emitted from the negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled
in straight lines, produced heat, and resulted in a greenish fluorescence.
William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that cathode rays were
streams of charged particles.

5. Who exposed the first dental radiograph in the United States using a
live person?
a. Otto Walkoff
b. Wilhelm Roentgen
c. Edmund Kells
d. Weston Price
ANS: C
Otto Walkoff was a German dentist who made the first dental radiograph.
Wilhelm Roentgen was a Bavarian physicist who discovered the x-ray.
Edmund Kells exposed the first dental radiograph in the United States using
a live person. Price introduced the bisecting technique in 1904.
