Chapter 01: Radiation History u u u
u MULTIPLE CHOICE u
1. Radiation is defined as u u u
a. a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles.
u u u u u u u u u u
b. a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
on a receptor.
u u u
c. a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a metal
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
target in an x-ray tube.
u u u u u
d. a branch of medicine that deals with the use of x-rays.
u u u u u u u u u u
ANSWER- A u
Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles. An x-ray is a beam of
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows on a receptor.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
X-radiation is a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
metal target in an x-ray tube. Radiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the use of
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
x-rays.

3. Your patient asked you why dental images are important. Which of the following is the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
correct response?
u u
a. An oral examination with dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
b. All dental diseases and conditions produce clinical signs and symptoms.
u u u u u u u u u
c. Dental images are not a necessary component of comprehensive patient care.
u u u u u u u u u u
d. Many dental diseases are typically discovered only through the use of dental images.
u u u u u u u u u u u u
ANSWER- D u
An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically.
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
Many dental diseases and conditions produce no clinical signs and symptoms. Dental images are
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
a necessary component of comprehensive patient care. Many dental diseases are typically
u u u u u u u u u u u u
discovered only through the use of dental images.

4. The x-ray was discovered by
u u u u
a. Heinrich Geissler u
b. Wilhelm Roentgen u
c. Johann Hittorf u
d. William Crookes u
ANSWER- B u
Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the
u u u u u u u u u u u u
x-ray on November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that discharges emitted from the
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
negative electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat, and resulted in a
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that cathode rays were
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
streams of charged particles.

u u u u u u u u u u u u u
a. Otto Walkoff u
b. Wilhelm Roentgen u
c. Edmund Kells u
d. Weston Price u
ANSWER- C u
Otto Walkoff was a German dentist who made the first dental radiograph. Wilhelm Roentgen
u u u u u u u u u u u u u
was a Bavarian physicist who discovered the x-ray. Edmund Kells exposed the first dental
u u u u u u u u u u u u u u
radiograph in the United States using a live person. Price introduced the bisecting technique in

1904.
