Radiograph vs. Skiagram — What's the Difference?

An image produced by radiation, usually by x-rays, and recorded on a radiosensitive surface, such as photographic film, or by photographing a fluoroscopic image. Also called radiogram, shadowgraph, skiagram, skiagraph.

A picture or photograph made up of shadows or outlines.

To make a radiograph of.

See radiograph.

An image, often a photographic negative, produced by radiation other than normal light; especially an X-ray photograph.

A picture or image created from shadows, especially with X-rays.

An instrument for measuring and recording solar radiation.

A photographic image produced on a radiosensitive surface by radiation other than visible light (especially by X-rays or gamma rays)

To produce a radiograph image.

An instrument for measuring and recording solar radiation.

An image or picture produced upon a sensitive surface, as of a photographic or fluorescent plate, by some form of penetrating radiation other than light, as X-rays, beta rays, etc.; esp., a picture of the internal structure of opaque objects traversed by the rays; a skiagraph. When the picture is produced upon photographic film by X-rays, the picture is usually called an X-ray photo or X-ray. When an image is produced on photographic film by a radioactive substance in close proximity to the film, in a manner so as to record the spatial distribution of the radioactive substance, the resulting image is called an autoradiograph or autoradiogram.
