The use of X-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as -
ANSWERradiography.
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. - ANSWERionizations
In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of
medical diagnostic modalities. Some of these involve the use of ionizing energy to
create a medical 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. - ANSWERC. radiography.
The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine. All
of the following choices represent his medical beliefs except the
The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine. All
of the 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. -
ANSWERB. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft.
Throughout the history of medicine, remarkable achievements have been recorded.
These events have led to our current understanding of the human organism and
disease. As this research continues, much of it will most likely focus on -
ANSWERhuman genes and genetic engineering.
Wilhelm C. Roentgen's discovery of "the X-ray" is regarded as one of medicine's most
significant achievements. Although his discovery 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 Roentgen as a scientist. One of the
most famous early images he created was an X-ray image of his - ANSWERwife's
hand.
, November 8, 1895, is believed by historians to be the day that Roentgen created the
famous image of the hand of his wife. Through his investigative methods, Roentgen
identified the properties of X-rays. His methods were so thorough that no significant
additions have been made to his work. - ANSWERcoronary arteriography.
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. need to be specially trained in order to perform mammography.
D. radiographers must be certified by the ARRT to qualify for the mammography
examination. - ANSWERThe procedures may be performed using a general
radiographic machine.
To study the blood vessels of the brain, kidneys, liver, and other organs, contrast
material is administered into these vessels by using - ANSWERcatheters
Radiologic science continues to be one of the most exciting professions in medicine.
An imaging modality that uses no ionizing radiation and the energy of radio waves
and magnetic fields is - ANSWERMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
A physician who specializes in the interpretation of medical images is known as a -
ANSWERradiologic technologist.
A class of health care workers who specialize in carrying out treatments designed to
improve a patient's health condition and quality of life and who likely possess a 2- or
4-year degree are known as - ANSWERtherapists.
Board-certified radiologists can be a medical doctor (MD) or a doctor of osteopathy
(DO). To become a board-certified radiologist following medical school, these
physicians must complete a - ANSWERresidency.
The health occupation that deals with the management of patient medical records
and medical coding is - ANSWERhealth information services.
The distinction between a technologist and a technician can be confusing to the
general public, when related to medical personnel.
A key difference between the two involves education. A technologist typically -
ANSWERworks under the supervision of another health care provider.
The medical imaging specialty______________ of uses radiopharmaceuticals and
gamma radiation in the production of medical images for patient diagnosis. -
ANSWERnuclear medicine
The current medical standard for measuring bone health, with a high degree of
accuracy, is - ANSWERDEXA studies of the hip and lower spine.
