radiographic = radiograph (transparent) = radiograph + ic
Standard adjectival formation from the noun 'radiograph' meaning 'relating to or produced by radiography', so the relation is directly derivable.
Etymology
Radiographic comes from the parts radio- meaning 'ray' and -graph meaning 'to write' or 'record', just like in photograph. So a radiographic image is a 'record made by rays' and today it means a picture made with X-rays to show the inside of the body.
