Questions and Answers

What is the proper term for an image on X-ray film?

  • Boneogram
  • Radiograph (correct)
  • Radiationogram
  • X-rayogram

    • When reading radiographs, what is the advantage of using a structured process?

  • It enhances visualization of soft tissue
  • It expands the number of possible diagnoses
  • It reduces the clarity of the images
  • It helps in identifying major osseous landmarks (correct)

    • Why is it recommended to use a systematic approach when evaluating radiographs?

  • It prolongs the duration required for interpretation
  • It simplifies the process and reduces errors (correct)
  • It makes the analysis more subjective
  • It increases the likelihood of missing important details
