Examination or imaging using actinic radiation, particularly early X-ray or fluoroscope techniques.
From Greek aktis (ray) plus skopeein (to see or observe), meaning 'viewing or examining with rays.'
Actinoscopy was the technology that let early radiologists see inside the human body—the first time doctors could literally look at your bones without cutting you open.
