radiography
radiography (ray-di-og-răfi) n. diagnostic radiology: traditionally, the technique of examining the body by directing X-rays through it to produce images (radiographs) on photographic film or a fluoroscope. It now also includes the production of images by computerized tomography and nuclear medicine. Radiography is used to produce images of disease in all parts of the body, to be interpreted by radiologists for physicians and surgeons. computerized r. radiography in which photographic film is replaced by a charged plate, from which charge is knocked off by exposure to X-rays. The resultant image is read by a laser beam, then stored digitally or printed out. digital r. (DR) radiography in which X-ray images are acquired in digital format, allowing the storage of images on hard disk and their subsequent retrieval and interpretation using TV monitors.

radiography
radiography Use of X-rays to record the interiors of opaque bodies as images on a film or screen. Industrial X-ray photographs can show assembly faults and defects in metals. In medicine and dentistry, radiography is invaluable for diagnosing bone damage, tooth decay and internal disease. Using modern scanning techniques, cross-sectional outlines of the body can be obtained showing organs, blood vessels, and diseased parts.
