3. In the diagnosis of patient disease states, physicians can select from an array of medical
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
diagnostic modalities. Some of these involve the use of ionizing energy to create a
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
medical image. If a physician is concerned about the use of ionizing radiation, he or she
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
may choose to order any of the following diagnostic modalities except
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
a. thermograms.
b. medical sonography. zx
c. radiography.
d. magnetic resonance imaging. zx zx
ANS: C zx
Radiography is the making of records, known as radiographs, of internal structures of
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
the body by passage of X-rays or gamma rays through the body to act on, historically,
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
specially sensitized film or, most commonly, on a digital imaging plate or detector. In
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
the diagnostic radiography department, images are created using X-rays that pass
zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx zx
through the body (Fig. 1.2). Proper radiation protection is essential.

These events have led to our current understanding of the human organism and
