radiograph
This term is the precise technical designation for an X-ray image. While "X-ray" is used ubiquitously in casual conversation to refer to both the radiation and the resulting image, "radiograph" is the preferred term in clinical, academic, and professional medical documentation to specify the actual record or photograph produced.
As a verb, it describes the technical process of capturing these images. It is almost exclusively used by medical professionals or technicians. In a patient-facing context, a doctor is more likely to say "take an X-ray" than "radiograph the area," as the latter carries a formal, clinical register.
