radiological
Concerning ionizing emissions
Radiological relates to radiation or radiology—the medical specialty using X-rays, CT scans, and similar imaging technologies to diagnose and treat disease.
A radiological exam uses such imaging.
In military and security contexts, radiological refers to harmful radiation exposure: a radiological weapon, a radiological attack, radiological contamination.
