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.

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 a necessary component
of comprehensive patient care. Many dental diseases are typically
discovered only through the use of dental images.

, 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.

ANS: c
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
