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
disru pt the composition of matter and are capable of disrupting life processes. Special
protect
i on 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.
~3~
, b. medical sonography.
c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging.
CORRECT ANSWER: C
Radiography involves the use of x-
rays for the production of medical images. Medical procedures such as thermograms,
son
o grams, and magnetic resonance scans use nonionizing energy forms and consequently
d
o 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 t o 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 physicianstoday.
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.
