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 of internal structures of the body by passage
of x-rays or gamma rays through the body. These records or images are typically
referred to as 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
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.
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 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.
Ans: c
Radiography involves the use of x-rays for the production of medical images.
Medical procedures such as thermograms, sonograms, and magnetic resonance
scans use nonionizing energy forms and consequently do not produce ionizations in
human tissue. They are regarded as nonionizing modalities for imaging and offer
excellent alternatives to physicians concerned about radiation exposure to patients.
, Ref: pp. 3-4
4. 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.
Ans: b
The hippocratic corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural
explanations for the treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The
hippocratic oath still governs the ethical conduct of physicians today.
Ref: p. 5
5. 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
a. Proper sanitation and public health.
b. Immunology and the development of vaccines.
c. Germ theory and infection.
d. Human genes and genetic engineering.
Ans: d
Although the human genome project is finished, analyses of the data will continue
for many years. The replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers
promises of cures for a variety of hereditary diseases, and through genetic
engineering, important pharmaceuticals continue to be developed. Medical
research will continue to focus on the genetic code in all cells.
Ref: p. 6
6. 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
a. Colon.
b. Laboratory assistant’s foot.
c. Wife’s hand.
d. Kidneys.
Ans: c
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.
