  • Just non-ioninsing
  • Neither

3. What can CAT scans be used to image?

  • Just hard tissue
  • Photographs
  • Soft and hard tissue
  • Just soft tissue

4. How are kidney stones broken down?

  • An ultrasound beam concentrates high energy waves at the kidney stone and turns it into sand like particles.
  • A weak concentration of X-rays are fired at the stones.
  • Many weak ultrasound waves are reflected off the stones.
  • Intense beams of strongly ionising X-rays are fired at the stones.

5. What do CAT scans use?

  • Weak beams of X-rays that are weakly ionising
  • Intense beams of X-rays that are weakly ionising
  • Intense beams of X-rays that are strongly ionising
  • Weak beams of X-rays that are strongly ionising
