Introduction to Radiography & Medical Imaging Quiz

Reflection Imaging = Utilizes sound waves to create images of internal structures Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) = Uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed images of soft tissues Emission Imaging = Images are created by detecting radiation emitted by the body after administration of a radioactive substance Routine Radiography = Basic form of medical imaging that uses x-rays to visualize bones and organs

Roentgen = Physicist who discovered x-rays and produced the first anatomic radiograph Radiologist = Medical professional who interprets medical images to diagnose diseases Radiography = The practice of taking and interpreting x-ray images Crookes Tube = Device used to generate x-rays in early experiments

First Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901 was awarded to him for his discovery of x-rays = Wilhelm Roentgen Physicians who learned to take radiographs and developed techniques to demonstrate anatomic structures = Early Radiographers Term applied to the science of medical imaging since the early use of x-rays in medicine = Radiology Some radiology departments have been renamed this due to new imaging modalities not using x-rays = Diagnostic Imaging Departments

<p>Physicians' assistants skilled in radiography who assist with x-ray examinations = Develop photographic plates and assist with x-ray examinations Assistants trained by physicians who used x-rays in radiography = Train their assistants to develop photographic plates and assist with x-ray examinations Physicists who were familiar with the operation of Crookes tube and produced the first anatomic radiograph = Early Radiographers Individuals who receive clinical experience in radiography in a department called the radiology department = Clinical Experience</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>X ray = Mysterious energy identified by Roentgen that led to the discovery of x-rays Crookes Tube = Device used by physicists for early experimentation with x-rays Anatomic Radiograph = First image produced by Roentgen, showing his wife's hand's internal structures Radiology Department = Where individuals receive clinical experience in radiography</p> Signup and view all the answers
