Radiology Practice Test

X-ray films pose the most risk for?

1. Chemical burns

2. Cross contamination

3. Image distortion

4. Equipment malfunctions

The correct answer is: Cross contamination

X-ray films, as physical objects, do not pose risks for chemical burns or equipment malfunctions. Therefore options A and D can be eliminated. Image distortion can be an issue with X-ray films, but it is not the most significant risk when compared to the risk of cross contamination. Cross contamination refers to the transmission of microorganisms or particles from one place to another, and X-ray films can easily come into contact with bodily fluids or contaminated objects, making them a high risk for cross contamination. Therefore, option C can be eliminated and option B is the most correct answer.
