Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of x-
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
rays or gamma rays through the body. These records or images are typically referred to as
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx z
radiographs.

a. ionizations
b. radio waves zx
c. sound waves zx
d. thermal changes zx
ANS: A zxzx
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-
zx zx zx zx zx zx
rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in matter. These ionizations have the ability to disrup
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
t the composition of matter and are capable of disrupting life processes. Special protectio

3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of medical
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
diagnostic modalities. A few of these involve the use of ionizing energy to create a medic
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
al image. If a physician is concerned about the use of ionizing radiation, he or she may ch
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
oose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities EXCEPT
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography. zx
c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. zx zx
ANS: C zxzx
Radiography involves the use of x- zx zx zx zx zx
rays for the production of medical images. Medical procedures such as thermograms, sono
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
grams, and magnetic resonance scans use nonionizing energy forms and consequently do n
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
ot produce ionizations in human tissue. They are regarded as nonionizing modalities for im
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
aging and offer excellent alternatives to physicians concerned about radiation exposure to
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
patients.

zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
e following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
a. use of high ethical standards of conduct.
zx zx zx zx zx zx
b. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft. zx zx zx zx zx zx
c. importance of closely monitoring a patient’s condition and recovery. zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
d. value of diet and exercise and allowing nature to take its course in recovery.
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
ANS: B zxzx
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural explanations f
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
or the treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The Hippocratic oath still govern
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx

5. Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements have been recorded. Thes
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
e events have led to our current understanding of the human organism and disease. As
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
this research continues, much of it will most likely focus on
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
a. proper sanitation and public health. zx zx zx zx
b. immunology and the development of vaccines. zx zx zx zx zx
c. germ theory and infection. zx zx zx
d. human genes and genetic engineering. zx zx zx zx
ANS: D zxzx
Although the Human Genome Project is finished, analyses of the data will continue for m
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
any years. The replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers promises of cures f
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
or a variety of hereditary diseases, and through genetic engineering, important pharmaceut
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
icals continue to be developed. Medical research will continue to focus on the genetic cod

6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen’s discovery of ―the x-zx zx zx zx zx zx
ray‖ is regarded as one of medicine’s most significant achievements. Although his disco
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
very was accidental, his early research was so thorough that no significant findings have
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
been added to his original theories. This in itself is a true tribute to the brilliance of Roe
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
ntgen as a scientist. One of the most famous early images he created was an x-
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
ray image of his
zx zx zx
a. colon.
b. laboratory assistant’s foot. zx zx
c. wife’s hand. zx
d. kidneys.
ANS: C zxzx
November 8, 1895, is believed by historians to be the day that Roentgen created the famou
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
s image of the hand of his wife. Through his investigative methods, Roentgen identified t
