RADIOGRAPHY

Is the making of a record or photograph by means of the action of actinic rays ( x-rays ) on a sensitized surface. Actinic= a type of radiation that is capable of producing a chemical change.

RADIOGRAPHS (RADIOGRAM) Is a permanent photographic record of the structures through which a beam of ionizing radiation has passed. A permanent record of the image of the hidden parts of the body after x-ray exposure & subsequent processing.

RADIOGRAPHER A person who is skilled in the art of producing radiographs The expert in producing radiographic images.

FLUOROSCOPY
The obstruction of the images of the internal parts of the body directly on the fluoroscopic screen or on a screen coated with a fluorescent material. Examination by means of a fluoroscope.

FLUOROSCOPE
A piece of x-ray apparatus consisting of an x-ray tube properly housed & mounted so that x-rays emanating from the tube strike on a fluorescent screen.

Medical Physicist is a physicist who specializes in the application of the principles and techniques of physics in medicine.
