MULTIPLE CHOICE g1
1. The use of x-rays to create a medical image on patients is referred to as
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
a. electrocardiography.
b. radiography.
c. sonography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. g1 g1
ANS: B
Radiography is the making of records of internal structures of the body by passage of
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
x- rays or gamma rays through the body. These records or images are
g1 g1 g1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g 1
typically referred t o a s radiographs.

2. Particular care must be taken when using radiation for medical imaging. This is the
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
result of radiation’s ability to create
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
in human tissue and possible biochemical changes g1 g1 g1 g 1 g1 g 1
.
a. ionizations
b. radio waves g1
c. sound waves g1
d. thermal changes g1
ANS: A
Some forms of electromagnetic energy, including x-
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
rays, have the ability to ionize atoms in matter. These ionizations have the ability to
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
disru pt the composition of matter and are capable of disrupting life processes.
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1

3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
medical diagnostic modalities. A few of these involve the use of ionizing energy to
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
create a medi cal image. If a physician is concerned about the use of ionizing
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
radiation, he or she may choose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
EXCEPT
g1
a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography. g1
c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. g1 g1
ANS: C
Radiography involves the use of x- g1 g 1 g1 g1 g1
rays for the production of medical images. Medical procedures such as thermograms, son
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
o grams, and magnetic resonance scans use nonionizing energy forms and consequently d
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
o not produce ionizations in human tissue. They are regarded as nonionizing
g 1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
modalities f or i maging and offer excellent alternatives to physicians concerned
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
about radiation expo sure t o patients.

4. The Greek physician Hippocrates is regarded as the father of Western medicine.
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
All of t he following choices represent his medical beliefs EXCEPT the
g1 g1 g 1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
a. use of high ethical standards of conduct.
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
b. important medical value of sorcery and witchcraft.
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
c. importance of closely monitoring a patient’s condition and recovery.
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
d. value of diet and exercise and allowing nature to take its course in recovery.
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
ANS: B
The Hippocratic Corpus is writings that they emphasize rational and natural
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
explanations f or the treatment of disease and reject sorcery and magic. The
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
Hippocratic oath still gove r ns the ethical conduct of physicians today.

g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
The s e events have led to our current understanding of the human organism and
g1 g 1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
disease. A s this research continues, much of it will most likely focus on
g1 g1 g 1 g 1 g1 g1 g 1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
a. proper sanitation and public health.
g1 g1 g1 g1
b. immunology and the development of vaccines. g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
c. germ theory and infection.
g1 g1 g1
d. human genes and genetic engineering.
g1 g1 g1 g1
ANS: D
Although the Human Genome Project is finished, analyses of the data will continue
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
for m any years. The replacement of faulty genes through gene therapy offers
g1 g 1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
promises of cure s for a variety of hereditary diseases, and through genetic
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
engineering, important pharma ceuticals continue to be developed. Medical
g1 g1 g1 g1 g 1 g1 g1 g 1 g1
research will continue to focus on the gene ti c code in all cells.

6. Wilhelm C. Roentgen’s discovery of ―the x-
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
ray‖ is regarded as one of medicine’s most significant achievements. Although his
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
disco very was accidental, his early research was so thorough that no significant
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
findings have been added to his original theories. This in itself is a true tribute to
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
the brilliance of Ro entgen as a scientist. One of the most famous early
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1
images he created was an x-
g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1 g 1
ray image of his
g1 g1 g1
a. colon.
b. laboratory assistant’s foot. g1 g1
c. wife’s hand. g1
d. kidneys.
ANS: C
November 8, 1895, is believed by historians to be the day that Roentgen created the
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
famo us image of the hand of his wife. Through his investigative methods,
g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1 g1
Roentgen identified the properties of x-rays.
