3. Your patient asked you why dental images are important. Which of the following is the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




correct response?

a. An oral examination with dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen
v v v v v v v v v v v v




clinically.
v




b. All dental diseases and conditions produce clinical signs and symptoms.

images.

ANSWER: D v




An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically. Many
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




dental diseases and conditions produce no clinical signs and symptoms. Dental imagesare a

4. The x-ray was discovered by
v v v v




a. Heinrich Geissler v




b. Wilhelm Roentgen v




c. Johann Hittorf v




d. William Crookes v




ANSWER: B v




Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
v v v v v v v v v v v v




x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that discharges emitted from the
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat, and resultedin a
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that cathode rays were
v v v v v v v v v v v v v




streams of charged particles.

8. Which of the following is an advantage of digital imaging?
v v v v v v v v v




a. Increased patient radiation exposure v v v




b. Increased patient comfort v v




c. Increased speed for viewing images v v v v




d. Increased chemical usage v v




ANSWER: C v




Patient exposure is reduced with digital imaging. Digital sensors are more sensitive to x-rays than
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort. The image from
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor without the need for chemical
v v v v v v v v v v v v v v v




processing. This allows for immediate interpretation and evaluation. The image fromdigital
