How it's used
This term is primarily used in hospital settings to refer to the specific department handling imaging services. While it is the standard medical term, patients often refer to it simply as照X光 when discussing the procedure itself. It is a formal, institutional term that you would see on hospital signage or hear from medical staff.
Examples
The doctor told me to go to the radiology department for a chest X-ray.
