MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Radiation is defined as
a. a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles.
b. a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows
on a receptor.
c. a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a metal
target in an x-ray tube.
d. a branch of medicine that deals with the
use of x-rays.
ANS: A
Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of particles. An x-ray is a beam of
energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image shadows on a receptor. X-
radiation is a high-energy radiation produced by the collision of a beam of electrons with a metal
target in an x-ray tube. Radiology is a branch of medicine that deals with the use of x-rays.

ANS: B
An x-ray is a beam of energy that has the power to penetrate substances and record image
shadows on a receptor. A radiograph is a picture on film produced by the passage of x- rays
through an object or body. Radiography is the art and science of making dental images by the
exposure of a receptor to x-rays. Radiation is a form of energy carried by waves or streams of
particles.

3. Your patient asked you why dental images are important. Which of the following is the
correct response?
a. An oral examination with dental images
limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically.
b. All dental diseases and conditions produce
clinical signs and symptoms.
c. Dental images are not a necessary
component of comprehensive patient care.
d. Many dental diseases are typically
discovered only through the use of dental images.
ANS: D
An oral examination without dental images limits the practitioner to what is seen clinically.
Many dental diseases and conditions produce no clinical signs and symptoms. Dental images are

4. The x-ray was discovered by
a. Heinrich Geissler
b. Wilhelm Roentgen
c. Johann Hittorf
d. William Crookes
ANS: B
Heinrich Geissler built the first vacuum tube in 1838. Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the x-ray on
November 8, 1895. Johann Hittorf observed in 1870 that discharges emitted from the negative
electrode of a vacuum tube traveled in straight lines, produced heat,
and resulted in a greenish fluorescence. William Crookes discovered in the late 1870s that
cathode rays were streams of charged particles.

Otto Walkoff was a German dentist who made the first dental radiograph. Wilhelm Roentgen
was a Bavarian physicist who discovered the x-ray. Edmund Kells exposed the first dental
radiograph in the United States using a live person. Price introduced the bisecting technique in
1904.
