Radiography

The work of examining the internal parts of the body by taking X-ray photographs.

General medical term for the use of radiation or X-RAYS, either in still pictures, as in a chest X-ray, or in moving images, as in fluoroscopy, to give a picture of the internal workings of the body. Some kinds of radiography are regarded as invasive procedures, meaning that they involve injection or ingestion of foreign substances into the body, such as the dyed fluid in a myelogram. Most X-rays are considered noninvasive, but because they can damage a fetus, women who are or suspect they may be pregnant are advised not to have such a test.

Use of ionizing radiation, especially X rays, to produce images on photographic plates or fluorescent screens (fluoroscopy); it is used to detect broken bones, the presence of ulcers, stones, or tumors in internal body organs, and many other disorders.

Production of a shadow-type image on photographic film by exposure of film to x-rays.

The use of X-rays or other forms of radiation to produce an image of a body part.

A laboratory technique using a radioactive- labeled agent to measure antigens, antibodies, and other proteins in blood plasma.

Formerly known as roentgenography; the making of images of internal structures of the body by passing X rays through the body to act on specially sensitized film. The image results from the varying amounts of radiation absorbed by tissues of different density.

The technique of examining the body by directing X-rays through it to produce images on photographic plates or fluorescent screens. Radiography is used in the diagnosis of such disorders as broken bones, gastric ulcers, and stones in the gall bladder or kidney, when inspection from outside the body is insufficient for diagnosis.

Examination of any part of the body by x-rays for the purpose of diagnosis. The result of the examination is usually recorded on photographic film. The use of x-rays and other radiation for treatment is radiotherapy.

Diagnostic radiography is the technique of examining parts of the body by passing x-rays through them to produce images on fluorescent screens or photographic plates.

The process of obtaining an image for diagnosis using a radiological modality.

Radiography, a scientific discipline, encompasses the art and technique of generating and capturing images using the passage of ionizing radiation through biological substances. This intricate process involves the creation and preservation of visual representations that reveal the inner workings of the human body and its intricate structures. By harnessing the power of ionizing radiation, radiography unravels the hidden mysteries concealed within the realm of bodily matter.
