ANS: A
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.

ANS: B
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.

- 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.

- 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.

| a. | Otto Walkoff |
| b. | Wilhelm Roentgen |
| c. | Edmund Kells |
| d. | Weston Price |
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 United States using a live person. Price introduced the bisecting technique in 1904.

| c. | F. Gordon Fitzgerald |
| d. | Howard Riley Raper |
ANS: C
- Edmund Kells introduced the paralleling technique in 1896. 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.

- Which of the following is an advantage of digital imaging?
| a. | Increased patient radiation exposure |
| b. | Increased patient comfort |
| c. | Increased speed for viewing images |
| d. | Increased chemical usage |
ANS: C
Patient exposure is reduced with digital imaging. Digital sensors are more sensitive to x-rays than film. Digital sensors are rigid and bulky, causing decreased patient comfort. The image from digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor without the need for chemical processing. This allows for immediate interpretation and evaluation. The image from digital sensors is uploaded directly to the computer and monitor without the need for chemical processing.

- Which discovery was the precursor to the discovery of x-rays?
| a. | Beta particles |
| b. | Alpha particles |
| c. | Cathode rays |
| d. | Radioactive materials |
ANS: C
Beta particles are fast moving electrons emitted from the nucleus of radioactive atoms and are not associated with x-rays. Alpha particles are emitted from the nuclei of heavy metals and are not associated with x-rays. Wilhelm Roentgen was experimenting with cathode rays when he discovered x-rays. Radioactive materials are certain unstable atoms or elements that are in the process of spontaneous disintegration or decay.

- Which of the following would you place in the patient’s mouth in order to take dental x-rays?
| a. | Image |
| b. | Image receptor |
| c. | Radiograph |
| d. | Dental radiograph |
ANS: B
An image is a picture or likeness of an object. An image receptor is the recording medium (film, phosphor plate, or digital sensor) that is placed in the patient’s mouth to record the image produced by the x-rays. A radiograph is an image of two-dimensional representation of a three- dimensional object. A dental radiograph is the dental image produced on a recording medium.
