Scope note
The making of radiographs, images produced on photographic film by a radiation other than light, especially x-rays or gamma rays. Modern radiography systems are moving away from x-ray sensitive film to produce these images, with a digital plate replacing film. For the science or practice of dealing with x-rays or nuclear radiation in general, use "radiology."
