  1. radiogram, radiograph, shadowgraph, skiagraph, skiagramnoun

    a photographic image produced on a radiosensitive surface by radiation other than visible light (especially by X-rays or gamma rays)

GCIDE

  1. radiographnoun

    An image or picture produced upon a sensitive surface, as of a photographic or fluorescent plate, by some form of penetrating radiation other than light, as X-rays, beta rays, etc.; esp., a picture of the internal structure of opaque objects traversed by the rays; a skiagraph. When the picture is produced upon photographic film by X-rays, the picture is usually called an X-ray photo or X-ray. When an image is produced on photographic film by a radioactive substance in close proximity to the film, in a manner so as to record the spatial distribution of the radioactive substance, the resulting image is called an autoradiograph or autoradiogram.

Wiktionary

  1. radiographnoun

    an image, often a photographic negative, produced by radiation other than normal light; especially an X-ray photograph

  2. radiographverb

    To produce such an image

  1. radiograph

    Radiography is an imaging technique using X-rays, gamma rays, or similar ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation to view the internal form of an object. Applications of radiography include medical radiography ("diagnostic" and "therapeutic") and industrial radiography. Similar techniques are used in airport security (where "body scanners" generally use backscatter X-ray). To create an image in conventional radiography, a beam of X-rays is produced by an X-ray generator and is projected toward the object. A certain amount of the X-rays or other radiation is absorbed by the object, dependent on the object's density and structural composition. The X-rays that pass through the object are captured behind the object by a detector (either photographic film or a digital detector). The generation of flat two dimensional images by this technique is called projectional radiography. In computed tomography (CT scanning) an X-ray source and its associated detectors rotate around the subject which itself moves through the conical X-ray beam produced. Any given point within the subject is crossed from many directions by many different beams at different times. Information regarding attenuation of these beams is collated and subjected to computation to generate two dimensional images in three planes (axial, coronal, and sagittal) which can be further processed to produce a three dimensional image.

  1. radiograph

    A radiograph is a type of image produced using radiation, typically x-rays, that allows visualization of the internal structures of an object or body. It works by passing a controlled amount of radiation through the object or body, capturing the resulting shadow on a detector. Different tissues or materials absorb different amounts of radiation, creating varying levels of contrast on the radiograph that can be used for diagnostic purposes in medicine, or to examine the structural integrity of materials in settings such as construction or aviation.

Webster Dictionary

  1. Radiographnoun

    a picture produced by the Rontgen rays upon a sensitive surface, photographic or fluorescent, especially a picture of opaque objects traversed by the rays

  2. Etymology: [Radio- + -graph.]
