Chapter--1:--Introduction--to--Radiologic--and--Imaging--Sciences

1. A--patient--is--anxious--about--undergoing--an--imaging--procedure--involving--ionizing--radiation.--
The--radiologic--technologist--reassures--the--patient--by--explaining--that--the--procedure--uses--minimal-
-radiation.--Which--of--the--following--is--the--most--appropriate--description--of--ionizing--radiation?

A. Radiation--that--has--no--effect--on--tissues
B. Radiation--that--removes--electrons--from--atoms
C. Radiation--that--cannot--penetrate--the--skin
D. Radiation--that--is--absorbed--entirely--by--bones
Rationale:--Ionizing--radiation--has--enough--energy--to--remove--electrons--from--atoms,--potentially--
causing--damage--to--tissues,--which--is--why--minimal--exposure--is--always--preferred--(B).--It--can--
penetrate--the--skin--and--may--be--absorbed--differently--by--various--tissues,--including--bones.

2. What--is--the--primary--role--of--a--radiologic--technologist--during--an--imaging--procedure?
A. Diagnosing--imaging--results
B. Positioning--the--patient--and--operating--imaging--equipment
C. Determining--the--appropriate--contrast--medium
D. Performing--surgery--on--the--patient
Rationale:--The--radiologic--technologist's--primary--role--is--to--position--the--patient--and--operate--the--
imaging--equipment--during--the--procedure--(B).--Diagnosis--and--other--medical--decisions--are--made--
by--physicians.

3. A--radiologic--technologist--explains--the--importance--of--ALARA--to--a--patient.--What--does--
ALARA--stand--for?
A. As--Long--As--Radiation--is--Administered
B. All--Levels--of--Radiation--Are--Acceptable
C. As--Low--As--Reasonably--Achievable
D. Average--Levels--of--Radiation--Achieved
Rationale:--ALARA--stands--for--"As--Low--As--Reasonably--Achievable"--(C),--emphasizing--the--
importance--of--minimizing--radiation--exposure--to--both--patients--and--healthcare--workers.

4. Which--of--the--following--professionals--is--primarily--responsible--for--interpreting--the--results--
of--radiologic--images?
A. Radiologist
B. Radiologic--technologist
C. Nurse--practitioner
D. Physician--assistant

,--


Rationale:--A--radiologist--(A)--is--a--medical--doctor--who--specializes--in--interpreting--radiologic--
images--and--diagnosing--conditions--based--on--those--images.
DIF:--Knowledge
TOP:--Professional--Roles
MSC:--Professional--Practice

5. A--radiologic--technologist--is--preparing--a--patient--for--a--CT--scan.--Which--of--the--
following--instructions--is--most--important--to--give--the--patient?
A. "You--will--need--to--remove--all--metal--objects,--including--jewelry."
B. "You--may--eat--a--large--meal--before--the--procedure."
C. "You--will--need--to--hold--your--breath--for--30--minutes."
D. "You--can--bring--your--phone--into--the--scanner."
Rationale:--Removing--metal--objects--(A)--is--essential--because--metal--can--interfere--with--imaging--
results--in--CT--scans.--The--other--options--are--incorrect--or--unrealistic.

6. Which--of--the--following--best--describes--the--importance--of--patient--positioning--
during--radiographic--procedures?
A. It--reduces--radiation--exposure.
B. It--ensures--accurate--imaging--and--diagnostic--results.
C. It--eliminates--the--need--for--contrast--media.
D. It--improves--patient--comfort--but--does--not--affect--the--outcome.
Rationale:--Proper--patient--positioning--(B)--is--critical--for--obtaining--accurate--imaging--and--
diagnostic--results.--Incorrect--positioning--can--lead--to--distorted--or--unclear--images,--which--may--
affect--diagnosis.

7. What--is--the--most--important--consideration--when--communicating--with--patients--about--an--
imaging--procedure?
A. Using--medical--terminology--to--explain--the--process
B. Speaking--as--quickly--as--possible--to--save--time
C. Ensuring--the--patient--understands--the--procedure--and--consents--to--it
D. Giving--minimal--information--to--avoid--overwhelming--the--patient
Rationale:--Ensuring--that--the--patient--fully--understands--the--procedure--(C)--and--provides--informed--
consent--is--the--most--important--aspect--of--communication.--Clear--and--simple--language--should--be--
used--to--avoid--confusion.

8. Which--of--the--following--imaging--modalities--uses--magnetic--fields--and--radio--waves--to--
produce--detailed--images--of--the--body?

, --


A. CT
B. MRI
C. Ultrasound
D. Nuclear--Medicine
Rationale:--MRI--(B)--uses--magnetic--fields--and--radio--waves--to--create--detailed--images--of--internal--
structures.--CT--(A)--uses--X-rays,--ultrasound--(C)--uses--sound--waves,--and--nuclear--medicine--(D)--uses--
radioactive--tracers.

9. A--patient--undergoing--a--diagnostic--procedure--asks--the--radiologic--technologist--whether--the--
procedure--will--expose--them--to--radiation.--Which--of--the--following--procedures--does--NOT--
involve--ionizing--radiation?
A. X-ray
B. CT--scan
C. MRI
D. Fluoroscopy
Rationale:--MRI--(C)--does--not--involve--ionizing--radiation;--it--uses--magnetic--fields--and--radio--waves.--
The--other--listed--procedures--involve--ionizing--radiation.

10. A--radiologic--technologist--is--assisting--with--a--fluoroscopy--procedure.--Which--of--the--
following--is--true--about--fluoroscopy?
A. It--uses--a--continuous--X-ray--beam--to--create--moving--images.
B. It--produces--static--images--similar--to--X-rays.
C. It--only--uses--sound--waves--for--imaging.
D. It--is--used--solely--for--imaging--bones.
Rationale:--Fluoroscopy--(A)--uses--a--continuous--X-ray--beam--to--create--moving--images,--
allowing--real-time--visualization--of--internal--structures.--It--differs--from--static--imaging--
modalities--like--traditional--X-rays.

11. When--using--contrast--media--in--imaging--procedures,--what--is--the--primary--purpose--of--
these--substances?

D. To--eliminate--the--need--for--positioning
Rationale:--Contrast--media--(C)--improve--the--visibility--of--internal--organs--and--structures--by--
highlighting--specific--areas--during--imaging.--It--does--not--reduce--radiation--or--eliminate--positioning--
needs.
