radiographing
Taking skeletal pictures
Radiographing is producing images using X-rays or similar radiation.
The technique passes radiation through an object onto a recording medium, revealing internal structures: The technician spent the morning radiographing patients' chests.
Used in medicine for diagnosis and in industry for inspecting welds, castings, and other materials for hidden defects.
