Word origin

X光片 (Xguāngpiàn, "x-ray image") combines X (X, "X") + 光 (guāng, "light") for X-rays with 片 (piàn, "sheet or image") for the picture produced by them.

Usage tips

  • A hospital may show the image on a screen rather than provide physical film, so film-based English wording can be too narrow for modern medical records.
