radiography
(noun)
The use of X-rays to view a non-uniformly composed material such as the human body.
Examples of radiography in the following topics:
-
X-Ray Imaging and CT Scans
- Radiography uses x-rays to view material that cannot be seen by the human eye by identifying areas of different density and composition.
- X-ray imaging, or radiography, used x-rays to view material within the body that cannot be seen by the human eye by identifying areas of different density and composition.
- CT scans, or computed tomography scans use a combination of X-ray radiography and tomography to produce slices of areas of the human body.
-
X-Ray Studies of the GI Tract
- Upper GI series, also upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract radiography, is a radiologic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
- Upper GI series, also known as upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract radiography, is a radiologic examination of the upper gastrointestinal tract .
-
Medical Imaging
- Two forms of radiographic images are in use in medical imaging; projection radiography and fluoroscopy, with the latter being useful for catheter guidance.
- Fluoroscopy produces real-time images of internal structures of the body in a similar fashion to radiography, but employs a constant input of x-rays, at a lower dose rate.
- It has a greater ionizing radiation dose burden than projection radiography; repeated scans must be limited to avoid health effects.
-
Pelvimetry
- Pelvimetry can also be done by radiography and MRI.
-
Work and Technology
- Medical processes such as primary screening in electrocardiography or radiography and laboratory analysis of human genes, sera, cells, and tissues are carried out at much greater speed and accuracy by automated systems.
