radiographs
Bone scan pictures
Radiographs are images produced by X-rays or similar radiation passing through an object onto a recording surface.
The term is technical vocabulary in medicine and dentistry, where radiographs reveal bones, teeth, and internal structures: The dentist examined the radiographs for signs of decay.
As a verb, to radiograph is to produce such an image.
