Objects which cause attenuation of X-ray beam are shown as............in image
1. Radiolucent
2. Radiopaque
3. Gray
4. None of the above
Radiology
Answer: 2
Objects which cause attenuation of X-ray beam are shown as radiopaque in an
image.
Radiopaque materials absorb or block X-rays, leading to a reduced transmission
of the X-ray beam. This results in the appearance of white areas or shadows on
the X-ray image, indicating the presence of dense structures like bone, metal
restorations, or calculi. Radiolucent structures, on the other hand, allow
X-rays to pass through more freely, resulting in dark areas on the image.

2. Lamina propria
3. Lamina limitans
4. Lamina densa
Radiology
Answer: 1
A thin radiopaque line running around the curvature of the root in IOPA is lamina dura.

1. Maxillary sinus
2. Occipital bone
3. Buperior border of petrous
4. Inferior border of petrous
Radiology
Answer: 2
In reverse Townes projection, the central X-ray passes through the occipital bone.
For maintaining parallelism between the object and film, film is placed at a distance to avoid distortion, what should be done
1. Increase target to object distance
2. Decrease target to object distance
3. Both of the above
4. None of the above
Radiology
Answer: 1
For maintaining parallelism between the object and film, the film is placed at a distance to avoid distortion by increasing the target to object distance.
Which of the following is a possible cause for a low density radiograph
(light film?)
1. Cold developer
2. over exposure
3. Improper safety light
4. Excessive developing time
Radiology Answer: 1
Overexposure typically results in a darker film, not a lighter one. An improper safety light or excessive developing time would not directly cause a low density radiograph. It is essential to maintain the correct temperature and time in the developing process to achieve a diagnostic image quality. A cold developer will not fully develop the film, leading to a lighter, less detailed image.
Loss of lamina dura and ground glass appearance of bone is an early radiographic feature of
1) Osteogenesis imperfecta
2) Hyperparathyroidism
3) Osteopetrosis
4) Osteitis deformans
Radiology
Answer: 2
Hyperparathyroidism is a condition characterized by an
overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which leads to increased bone
resorption and changes in bone density. The radiographic features associated
with hyperparathyroidism include:
Loss of Lamina Dura: The lamina dura is the thin layer
of dense bone that lines the tooth socket (alveolus). In
hyperparathyroidism, the loss of lamina dura can be observed due to the
increased osteoclastic activity and bone resorption.
Ground Glass Appearance: This refers to a radiographic
appearance of bone that looks hazy or "ground glass" rather than having a
clear, well-defined structure. This appearance is due to the alteration in
bone density and the presence of fibrous tissue replacing normal bone.
Other Options:
Osteogenesis Imperfecta: This condition is characterized
by brittle bones due to a defect in collagen formation. Radiographically, it
may show thin cortices and osteopenia, but not typically a ground glass
appearance.
Osteopetrosis: This is a condition of excessive bone
density due to impaired osteoclast function. Radiographically, it shows
increased radiopacity (dense bones) rather than a ground glass appearance.
Osteitis Deformans (Paget's Disease): This condition is
characterized by disorganized bone remodeling. Radiographically, it can show
a "cotton wool" appearance and enlarged bones, but it does not typically
present with a loss of lamina dura or a ground glass appearance in the early
stages.
