Radiography

Medical radiography is a broad term that covers several types of studies that require the visualization of the internal parts of the body using x-ray techniques.

During a radiographic procedure, an x-ray beam is passed through the body. A portion of the x-rays are absorbed or scattered by the internal structure and the remaining x-ray pattern is transmitted to a detector so that an image may be recorded for later evaluation. The recoding of the pattern may occur on film or through electronic means. [US FDA]
