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.
ANS: C
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 (Fig. 1.2). Proper Radiation Protection Is Essential.
A: Thermograms Detect Heat Patterns In The Body And Do Not Involve Ionizing
Radiation.
B: Medical Sonography (Ultrasound) Uses Sound Waves, Not Ionizing Radiation, To
Create Images.
D: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (Mri) Uses Magnetic Fields And Radio Waves, Also
Not Ionizing Radiation.
REF: P. 3
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.
A: Hippocrates Is Known For Establishing Ethical Standards That Still Govern Medical
Practice Today, Including The Hippocratic Oath.
C: Hippocrates Believed In Closely Monitoring Patients, A Practice That Is Central To
Modern Medicine.
D: He Valued Diet And Exercise As Essential Components Of Maintaining Health And
Treating Illness, And Advocated For Allowing Nature To Take Its Course In Healing.
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 Diseasesn, Anrd Thirouggh Gben.Ectic Emngineering, Important
Pharmaceuticals Continue To Be Developed. Medical Research Will Continue To Focus
On The Genetic Code In All Cells.
A: Proper Sanitation And Public Health Were Crucial Historical Advancements, But
Modern Research Is Increasingly Focused On Genetics And Personalized Medicine.
B: Immunology And Vaccines Remain Important, But Much Of The Cutting-Edge
Research Now Focuses On Genetic Therapies.
C: Germ Theory And Understanding Infections Are Foundational, But Genetic Research
Is At The Forefront Of Current Medical Advancements.
REF: P. 5 | 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
