radiograph

listen to the pronunciation of radiograph
English - English
an image, often a photographic negative, produced by radiation other than normal light; especially an X-ray photograph
A radiograph (also known commonly as plain film or x-ray) is an image obtained by shining high energy light or x-rays through the body to a detector which may either be photographic film or a photo-sensitive plate in newer digital image systems The body absorbs different amounts of radiation depending on the density of the tissue Dense tissues such as bone absorbs more radiation and appears light, and less dense tissues such as lung absorb less radiation and appears dark The image obtained of a body part therefore represents a shadowgram Disease states often alter the absorption of a given tissue For instance, pneumonia increases the density of lung and results in a lighter shadow on the radiograph corresponding to the area of infection Conversely a fracture decreases the absorption of bone and is perceived as a dark line at the fracture site
