1. The zuse zof zX-rays zto zcreate za zmedical zimage zon zpatients zis zreferred zto zas
a. electrocardiography.
b. radiography.
c. sonography.
d. magnetic zresonance zimaging.

Radiography zis zthe zmaking zof zrecords, zknown zas zradiographs, zof zinternal zstructures zof
zthe zbody zby zpassage zof zX-rays zor zgamma zrays zthrough zthe zbody zto zact zon,
zhistorically, zspeciallyzsensitized zfilm zor, zmost zcommonly, zon za zdigital zimaging zplate
zor zdetector. zIn zthe zdiagnostic zradiography zdepartment, zimages zare zcreated zusing zX-
rays zthat zpass zthrough zthe zbody.

2. Particular zcare zmust zbe ztaken zwhen zusing zradiation zfor zmedical zimaging. zThis zis zthe
zresult zofzradiation’s zability zto zcreate in zhuman ztissue zand zpossible zbiochemical
zchanges.
a. ionizations
b. radio zwaves
c. sound zwaves
d. thermal zchanges
ANS: z A
, Some zforms zof zelectromagnetic zenergy, zincluding zX-rays, zhave zthe zability zto zionize
zatoms zin zmatter. zThese zionizations zhave zthe zability zto zdisrupt zthe zcomposition zof zmatter
zand zare zcapablezof zdisrupting zlife zprocesses. zSpecial zprotection zshould zbe zprovided zto
zprevent zexcessive zexposure zto zionizing zradiation.

3. In zthe zdiagnosis zof zpatient zdisease zstates, zphysicians zcan zselect zfrom zan zarray zof
zmedical zdiagnostic zmodalities. zSome zof zthese zinvolve zthe zuse zof zionizing zenergy zto
zcreate za zmedical zimage. z If za zphysician zis zconcerned zabout zthe zuse zof zionizing
zradiation, zhe zor zshe zmay zchoose ztozorder zany zof zthe zfollowing zdiagnostic zmodalities
zexcept
a. thermograms.
b. medical zsonography.
c. radiography.
d. magnetic zresonance zimaging.
ANS: z C
Radiography zis zthe zmaking zof zrecords, zknown zas zradiographs, zof zinternal zstructures zof
zthe zbody zby zpassage zof zX-rays zor zgamma zrays zthrough zthe zbody zto zact zon,
zhistorically, zspeciallyzsensitized zfilm zor, zmost zcommonly, zon za zdigital zimaging zplate
zor zdetector. zIn zthe zdiagnostic zradiography zdepartment, zimages zare zcreated zusing zX-
rays zthat zpass zthrough zthe zbody z(Fig. z1.2). zProper zradiation zprotection zis zessential.

4. The zGreek zphysician zHippocrates zis zregarded zas zthe zfather zof zWestern zmedicine. zAll
zof zthezfollowing zchoices zrepresent zhis zmedical zbeliefs zexcept zthe
a. use zof zhigh zethical zstandards zof zconduct.
b. important zmedical zvalue zof zsorcery zand zwitchcraft.
c. importance zof zclosely zmonitoring za zpatient’s zcondition zand zrecovery.
d. value zof zdiet zand zexercise zand zallowing znature zto ztake zits zcourse zin zrecovery.
ANS: z B
The zHippocratic zCorpus zis zwritings zthat zthey zemphasize zrational zand znatural
zexplanations zfor zthe ztreatment zof zdisease zand zreject zsorcery zand zmagic. zThe
zHippocratic zOath zstill zgoverns zthe zethical zconduct zof zphysicians ztoday.
