Basic factual questions
Updates to Article Attributes
Basic factual questions are one of the three types of multiple choice questions on Radiopaedia, the other two being knowledge integration and image interpretation.
Basic factual questions are simple and relate to a single item of factual knowledge, with or without an image. They draw from a single area of knowledge and require no interpretation. They can be of varying difficulty, from very simple to esoteric.
TheseThey are the easiest questions to write and if you are not practised at composing multiple-choice questions, these are the best ones to start with.
Basic factual questions are particularly helpful as a study aid, as they help students identify areas where their knowledge is lacking. They are, however, not good examination questions, and most well-written exams will have few if any of this type of question.
