xeroradiography
Xeroradiography is a type of radiography, a diagnostic technique in medical imaging, which uses X-rays on coated metal plates instead of traditional photographic film. The X-ray plate is then digitally scanned for the images. It was particularly useful for mammography applications but has largely been replaced by more modern techniques.

Xeroradiography
Xeroradiography is a type of x-ray in which a picture of the body is recorded on paper rather than on film. In this technique, a plate of selenium, which rests on a thin layer of aluminium oxide, is charged uniformly by passing it in front of a 'scorotron'. As X-ray photon impinges on this amorphous coat of selenium, charges diffuse out, in proportion to energy content of the X-ray. This occurs as a result of photoconduction. The resulting imprint, in the form of charge distribution on the plate, attracts toner particles, which is then transferred to reusable paper plates. In contrast to conventional X-rays, photographic developers are not needed. Hence the term xeroradiography; 'xero' meaning dry in Greek. It requires more radiation exposure. Its use is in mammography. Xeromammography is a form of xeroradiography.
