ANS: B
Radiography is the making of records, known as radiographs, of internal structures of the body by pass
through the body to act on, historically, specially sensitized film or, most commonly, on a digital imag
diagnostic radiography department, images are created using X-rays that pass through the body.
REF: p. 3
2. Particular care must be taken when using radiation for medical imaging. This is the result of radiation’s
__________ in human tissue and possible biochemical changes.
a. ionizations
b. radio waves
c. sound waves
d. thermal changes
ANS: A
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including X-rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in matter. Th
ability to disrupt the composition of matter and are capable of disrupting life processes. Special protect
prevent excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.

3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of medical diagnostic mod
involve the use of ionizing energy to create a medical image. If a physician is concerned about the use
she may choose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities except
a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography.
c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging.
