Adler: Introduction to Radiologic and Imaging Sciences and Patient Care, 6th Edition
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.
CORRECT ANSWER: 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 t o a s 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
CORRECT ANSWER: 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 medi cal 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.
CORRECT ANSWER: C

,TESTBANKS BY TESTBANKSNERD
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 f or i maging and offer
excellent alternatives to physicians concerned about radiation expo sure to patients.
REF: pp. 3-4
4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine. All of t he 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.
CORRECT ANSWER: B
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural explanations f or the treatment
of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The Hippocratic oath still gove r ns the ethical conduct of physicians
today.
REF: p. 5
5. Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements have been recorded. The s e events
have led to our current understanding of the human organism and disease. A s 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.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Although the Human Genome Project is finished, analyses of the data will continue for m any years. The
replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers promises of cure s for a variety of hereditary
diseases, and through genetic engineering, important pharma ceuticals continue to be developed. Medical
research will continue to focus on the gene ti c 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 disco very 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 Ro entgen
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.
CORRECT ANSWER: C
November 8, 1895, is believed by historians to be the day that Roentgen created the famo us image of the
hand of his wife. Through his investigative methods, Roentgen identified the properties of x-rays.
REF: p. 6
7. A valuable x-ray procedure used to diagnose a myocardial infarction is
a. mammography.
b. myelography.
c. arthrography.
d. coronary arteriography.
CORRECT ANSWER: D
Coronary arteriography is an extremely valuable tool in diagnosing atherosclerosis, which can block the
coronary arteries and cause a heart attack (myocardial infarction). By way o f a special catheter with a
balloon tip, effective treatment of atherosclerosis is possible. T his treatment of a blocked blood vessel is
termed angioplasty. Angioplasty is used to tr eat patients without having to use invasive open-heart surgery.
REF: p. 8
8. All of the following are true of the diagnostic procedure of mammography EXCEPT
a. it is very valuable for the detection of early breast cancers.
b. the procedures may be performed using a general radiographic machine.
c. radiographers need to be specially trained in order to perform mammography.
d. radiographers must be certified by the ARRT to qualify for the mammograp h y examination.
CORRECT ANSWER: B
Special breast imaging centers have been built to accommodate the demand for mammogr aphy procedures.
Equipment and supplies, such as a specially designed x-ray tube and high- resolution digital imaging
detectors, are used to create high- quality breast images. Mammography cannot be performed using general
x-ray equipment. REF: p. 8
