6. Early researchers working in the field of radiography were not aware that continued
exposure to x-rays produced accumulations of radiation efects in the body because x-
rays are invisible.
a. Both the statement and reason are correct and related.
b. Both the statement and reason are correct but NOT related.
c. The statement is correct, but the reason is NOT.
d. The statement is NOT correct, but the reason is correct.
e. NEITHER the statement NOR the reason is correct.
7. The most significant advancement in the early days of radiography came in 1913 when
W. D. Coolidge:
a. became the first to alert the profession of the dangers of radiation exposure and
advocated for the science of radiation protection.
b. exposed a prototype of a dental radiograph, setting the stage for preventive oral
health care.
c. developed a variable, high kilovoltage x-ray machine compatible with the paralleling
technique.
d. introduced an x-ray tube that allowed for an x-ray output that could be
predetermined and accurately controlled.
8. The first dental radiograph was produced using an exposure time of:
a. 0.5 second.
b. 1 minute.
c. 5 minutes.
d. 25 minutes.
e. 1 hour.
9. What component of the dental x-ray machine best limits the size of the x-ray beam
to the approximate size of the image receptor?
a. A pointed cone

e) 1970s.
11. Which of the following is NOT true regarding cone beam volumetric imaging?
a) It images a single selected plane of tissues.
b) It is based on computed tomography.
c) It uses less radiation than a panoramic radiograph.
d) It is designed specifically for imaging dental applications.
e) It is purported to become the gold standard for imaging certain oral conditions.
12. Early dental film required long exposure times because:
a) it was hand-wrapped.
b) the emulsion was only on one side.
c) glass plates were used as the base.
d) the packets were not moisture resistant.
13. Each of the following is an advantage of digital imaging EXCEPT one. Which
one is the EXCEPTION?
a) It reduces radiation over film-based radiography.
b) It eliminates the need for the darkroom and processing chemistry.
