Chapter 01: Radiation History
Iannucci: Dental Radiography, 6th Edition
,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.
CORRECT CHOICE:- A
RATIONALE :->>>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.

2. A radiograph is defined as
a. a beam of energy that has the power to
penetrate substances and record image
shadows on a receptor.
b. a picture on film produced by the passage
of x-rays through an Object or body.
c. the art and science of making radiographs
by the exposure of an image receptor to x-
rays.
d. a form of energy carried by waves or a
stream of particles.
CORRECT CHOICE:- B
RATIONALE :->>>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 client 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 client care.
d. Many dental diseases are typically
discovered only through the use of dental
images.
CORRECT CHOICE:- D
RATIONALE :->>>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 client 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
CORRECT CHOICE:- B
RATIONALE :->>>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.

RATIONALE :->>>Otto Walkoff was a German dental technician 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.

Franklin W. McCormack reintroduced the paralleling technique in 1920. F. Gordon
Fitzgerald modified the paralleling technique with the introduction of the long-cone
technique. This is the technique currently used. Howard Riley Raper modified the
bisecting technique and introduced the bite-wing technique in 1925.
