radiography

radiography
Noun

This term refers to the technical process and science of producing images using ionizing radiation. In a medical context, it is the overarching term for the practice of X-ray imaging, whereas a radiograph refers to the actual image produced. It carries a clinical and professional register, typically used by healthcare providers or industrial engineers.

As a mass noun describing a field of study or a technical process, it is treated as uncountable. One does not refer to multiple radiographies when discussing the method itself, but rather refers to individual radiographs or X-ray images.
