radiographic

Pertaining to X-rays

Radiographic relates to radiography—the process of producing images using X-rays or other radiation.

A radiographic examination uses radiation to see inside the body or an object.

Radiographic images reveal bones, tumors, or structural flaws invisible to ordinary sight.

The term appears in medical diagnostics, industrial inspection, and security screening.
