,CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO RADIOLOGIC SCIENCE
Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z @




1. Which of the following best describes the primary purpose of diagno
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



stic radiography?
Z@



A. To treat diseases using ionizing radiation
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



B. To produce images of internal structures for diagnosis
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



C. To monitor patient vital signs
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



D. To sterilize medical equipment
Z@ Z@ Z@




Answer: B Z@



Rationale: Diagnostic radiography’s main purpose is to produce images of inte
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



rnal body structures, allowing physicians to detect and diagnose abnormalities.
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z



@Options A, C, and D are unrelated to diagnostic imaging.
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z@




2. What is the primary source of ionizing radiation in medical imaging?
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



A. MRI scanner Z@



B. X-ray tube Z@



C. Ultrasound transducer Z@



D. PET scanner Z@




Answer: B Z@



Rationale: The X- Z@ Z@



ray tube generates ionizing radiation used in diagnostic radiography. MRI
Z@ Z@ Z @ Z @ Z @ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



and ultrasound use non-
Z@ Z@ Z@



ionizing energy, while PET uses radioactive tracers rather than producing ra
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



diation in a tube.
Z @ Z@ Z@




3. How does the ALARA principle guide radiologic practice?
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



A. Maximizing image quality regardless of dose Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



B. Minimizing radiation exposure while achieving diagnostic quality
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



C. Limiting patient interaction to reduce infection
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



D. Increasing exposure time for better penetration
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@




Answer: B Z@



Rationale: ALARA (“As Low As Reasonably Achievable”) ensures patient
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z@



and staff receive the minimum radiation dose necessary for diagnostic-
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



quality images.Z@

,4. A radiologic technologist is preparing to image a patient with a susp
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



ected fracture. Which safety measure is most important?
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



A. Using the fastest imaging speed
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



B. Ensuring proper patient shielding and positioning
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



C. Increasing exposure to reduce repeat images
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



D. Allowing the patient to move during imaging
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@




Answer: B Z@



Rationale: Proper shielding and positioning minimize unnecessary exposure an
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z@



d protect radiosensitive tissues. Options A, C, and D can increase radiation ri
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



sk or degrade image quality.
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@




5. Scenario: A 45-year- Z
@ Z@



old patient expresses concern about radiation exposure. How should the te
Z @ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



chnologist respond? Z@



A. Ignore their concerns; radiation is safe
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



B. Explain that dose is minimized and benefits outweigh risks
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z@ Z@



C. Refuse to perform the exam
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



D. Increase exposure to ensure better images
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@




Answer: B Z@



Rationale: Patients should be informed about the low dose and the diagnosti
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



c benefits, reducing anxiety and promoting informed consent.
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z@ Z@




6. Which professional organization establishes standards for radiolo
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



gic technologists?
Z@



A. WHO
B. ASRT
C. FDA
D. CDC
Answer: B Z@



Rationale: The American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) sets ed
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



ucational and professional standards. FDA regulates equipment, CDC focuses on i
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



nfection control, WHO on global health.
Z @ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@

, 7. Which imaging modality does not use ionizing radiation?
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



A. CT scan
Z@



B. MRI
C. X-ray
D. Fluoroscopy
Answer: B Z@



Rationale: MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves, which are non-
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



ionizing. CT, X-ray, and fluoroscopy all use ionizing radiation.
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z @




8. What is the most radiosensitive tissue in the human body?
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



A. Muscle
B. Skin
C. Bone marrowZ@



D. Cartilage
Answer: C Z@



Rationale: Bone marrow contains rapidly dividing cells, making it highly sensi
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



tive to ionizing radiation. Muscle, skin, and cartilage are less sensitive.
Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@




9. Which factor primarily affects the quality of an X-ray image?
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



A. Patient diet Z@



B. Tube voltage and current
Z@ Z@ Z@



C. Room temperatureZ@



D. Technologist height Z@




Answer: B Z@



Rationale: Tube voltage (kVp) and current (mA) control X-
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



ray energy and photon quantity, directly affecting image quality.
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z @ Z@ Z@ Z @




10. How often should radiologic equipment be tested for quality assurance?
Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@ Z@



A. Daily
B. Monthly
C. Annually
D. Only when malfunction occurs
