Morphology

roentgenographic = graphic (opaque) = roentgeno + graph + ic

The form is regularly built from 'graphic' with the specialized scientific prefix 'roentgeno-', but the X-ray reference is not inferable for most learners.

Etymology

The word roentgenographic comes from the name Roentgen, the scientist who discovered X-rays, and the part -graphic, which means 'picture' and appears in photograph. So, roentgenographic means a picture made by X-rays.
