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.
ANS>>b
radiography is the making of records, known as radiographs, of internal structures of the
body by passage of x-rays or gamma rays through the body to act on, historically,
specially sensitized film or, most commonly, on a digital imaging plate or detector. in the
diagnostic radiography department, images are created using x-rays that pass through the
body.
a: electrocardiography (ecg) is a test used to measure the electrical activity of the heart,
not for creating images of internal body structures.
c: sonography (or ultrasound) uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images of the
inside of the body, not x-rays.
d: magnetic resonance imaging (mri) uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves, not x-
rays, to create detailed images of internal body structures.
ref: p. 3
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
ANS>>a
some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-rays, have the ability to ionize atoms
in matter. these ionizations have the ability to disrupt the composition of matter and are
capable of disrupting life processes. special protection should be provided to prevent
excessive exposure to ionizing radiation.
b: radio waves are non-ionizing forms of radiation and do not cause the same
biochemical changes as ionizing radiation like x-rays.
c: sound waves (used in sonography) are also non-ionizing and do not cause ionizations
or biochemical changes in tissues.
d: thermal changes refer to heat changes in tissue, which are not the main concern when
using x-rays for medical imaging.
ref: p. 3
3. 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.
