MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. The Use Of X-Rays To Create A Medical Image On Patients Is Referred To As
a. Electrocardiography.
b. Radiography.
c. Sonography.
d. Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
ANS: B
Radiography Is The Making Of Records Of Internal Structures Of The Body By
Passage Of X-Rays Or Gamma Rays Through The Body. These Records Or Images
Are Typically Referred To As Radiographs.
REF: P. 4
2. Particular Care Must Be Taken When Using Radiation For Medical Imaging. This Is
The Result Of Radiation’s Ability To Create In Human Tissue And Possible
Biochemical Changes.
a. Ionizations
b. Radio Waves
c. Sound Waves
d. Thermal Changes
ANS: A
Some Forms Of Electromagnetic Energy, Including X-Rays, Have The Ability To
Ionize Atoms In Matter. These Ionizations Have The Ability To Disrupt The
Composition Of Matter And Are Capable Of Disrupting Life Processes. Special
Protection Should Be Provided To Prevent Excessive Exposure To Ionizing Radiation.
REF: P. 3
3. In The Diagnosis Of Patient Disease States, PhysiciANS Can Select From An Array
Of Medical Diagnostic Modalities. A Few Of These Involve The Use Of Ionizing
Energy To Create A Medical Image. If A Physician Is Concerned About The Use Of
Ionizing Radiation, He Or She May Choose To Order Any Of The Following
Diagnostic Modalities EXCEPT
a. Thermograms.
b. Medical Sonography.
c. Radiography.
d. Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
ANS: C
Radiography Involves The Use Of X-Rays For The Production Of Medical Images.
Medical Procedures Such As Thermograms, Sonograms, And Magnetic Resonance
ScANS Use Nonionizing Energy Forms And Consequently Do Not Produce Ionizations
In Human Tissue. They Are Regarded As Nonionizing Modalities For Imaging And

, REF: Pp. 3-4
4. The Greek Physician Hippocrates Is Regarded As The Father Of Western Medicine.
All Of The Following Choices Represent His Medical Beliefs EXCEPT The
a. Use Of High Ethical Standards Of Conduct.
b. Important Medical Value Of Sorcery And Witchcraft.
c. Importance Of Closely Monitoring A Patient’s Condition And Recovery.
d. Value Of Diet And Exercise And Allowing Nature To Take Its Course In Recovery.
ANS: B
The Hippocratic Corpus Is Writings That They Emphasize Rational And Natural
Explanations For The Treatment Of Disease And Reject Sorcery And Magic. The
Hippocratic Oath Still Governs The Ethical Conduct Of PhysiciANS Today.
REF: P. 5
5. Throughout The History Of Medicine, Remarkable Achievements Have Been
Recorded. These Events Have Led To Our Current Understanding Of The Human
Organism And Disease. As This Research Continues, Much Of It Will Most Likely
Focus On
a. Proper Sanitation And Public Health.
b. Immunology And The Development Of Vaccines.
c. Germ Theory And Infection.
d. Human Genes And Genetic Engineering.
ANS: D
Although The Human Genome Project Is Finished, Analyses Of The Data Will
Continue For Many Years. The Replacement Of Faulty Genes Through Gene Therapy
Offers Promises Of Cures For A Variety Of Hereditary Diseases, And Through
Genetic Engineering, Important Pharmaceuticals Continue To Be Developed.
Medical Research Will Continue To Focus On The Genetic Code In All Cells.
REF: P. 6
6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen’s Discovery Of “The X-Ray” Is Regarded As One Of
Medicine’s Most Significant Achievements. Although His Discovery Was Accidental,
His Early Research Was So Thorough That No Significant Findings Have Been
Added To His Original Theories. This In Itself Is A True Tribute To The Brilliance Of
Roentgen As A Scientist. One Of The Most Famous Early Images He Created Was
An X-Ray Image Of His
a. Colon.
b. Laboratory Assistant’s Foot.
c. Wife’s Hand.
d. Kidneys.
ANS: C
November 8, 1895, Is Believed By HistoriANS To Be The Day That Roentgen
Created The Famous Image Of The Hand Of His Wife. Through His Investigative
Methods, Roentgen Identified The Properties Of X-Rays.
