Module 1 Introduction to Radiography.Final Test
2026\2027.
Radiation
Energy transmitted through matter
Ionization
The process of adding or removing electrons from an atom or molecule gives the
atom or molecule a net charge. This process disrupts the composition of the
matter. In living things, this can cause biological damage to cells & tissue.
Energy
the capacity to do work( mechanical, electrical, heat, nuclear, and
electromagnetic energy.
Sound energy
energy carried by sound waves(sonography)
Forms of Energy used for imaging
1.X-rays Radiography &CT
2.Radio waves &magnetic fields MRI
3.Sound waves Sonography (Ultrasound)
4.Electrical Electrocardiography (ECG)
5.Heat (Thermal energy) Thermography
6.Gamma rays Nuclear medicine
Electromagnetic energy
are energies that travel
Mammography
a radiographic examination of the breasts to detect the presence of tumors or
precancerous cells
