A medical imaging technique that combines X-ray radiography with motion picture cinematography to record moving internal body structures in real-time.
From 'cinema' (motion picture) combined with 'radiography' (image recording using radiation). This compound term emerged in early-to-mid 20th century medical technology.
Before modern ultrasound and MRI, cineradiography was revolutionary—doctors could watch your heart beating or joints moving in real-time using X-rays, revealing diseases that static images would completely miss.
