X-ray definition

To photograph with x-rays.

The act or process of taking such a photograph.

The definition of an X-ray is a picture taken of the inside of something using high energy electromagnetic radiation with short wavelengths that can pass through items.

A photon of electromagnetic radiation of very short wavelength, ranging from about 10 down to 0.01 nanometers, and very high energy, ranging from about 100 up to 100,000 electron volts.

A narrow beam of such photons. X-rays are used for their penetrating power in radiography, radiology, radiotherapy, and scientific research.

To irradiate with x-rays.

A photograph made by means of X-rays.

A band of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between gamma rays and ultraviolet radiation (c. .005 to c. 5 nanometers)

A stream of electromagnetic waves within this band: X-rays are capable of penetrating opaque or solid substances, ionizing gases, and, by extended exposure, destroying organic tissue: they are widely used in medicine for diagnosis and treatment of certain organic disorders.

To photograph with x-rays.

A high-energy stream of electromagnetic radiation having a frequency higher than that of ultraviolet light but less than that of a gamma ray (in the range of approximately 10¹⁶ to 10¹⁹ hertz). X-rays are absorbed by many forms of matter, including body tissues, and are used in medicine and industry to produce images of internal structures.

An image of an internal structure, such as a body part, taken with x-rays.

Of, by, or having to do with X-rays.

To examine, treat, or photograph with X-rays.

To irradiate with x-rays.

To X-ray is also the act of examining, treating or photographing something using electromagnetic radiation.
