x-rayed

Checked for fractures

X-rayed means examined or photographed using X-ray radiation, which passes through soft tissue but is blocked by dense material like bone.

Doctors x-ray broken limbs; airport security x-rays luggage.

Figuratively, to x-ray something is to scrutinize it thoroughly: She x-rayed his excuse and found it wanting.
