The moment the skiagraph was taken, it was very clear which bone should be removed. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
An attempt has been made by Rowland and Waggett. to skiagraph such foreign bodies, with encouraging results. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
To take, therefore, a skiagraph of a brain through two thicknesses of skull, with our present methods, is an impossibility. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
The Greek word for shadow is "skia," and the proper rendering, therefore, of shadowgraph is "skiagraph," corresponding to photograph. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
So, too, when we are able to skiagraph through thick tissues, we may be able to show such deposits in the internal organs of the body. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
Even after the hand has been dressed, it is possible, through the dressing, to skiagraph it, and determine the presence or absence of any such fragments of glass. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
If our methods improve so that we can skiagraph through the entire body, it will be very possible to determine the presence and location of foreign bodies in the stomach and intestines. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
Stones in various organs, such as the kidney, will be accessible to examination so soon as our methods have improved sufficiently for us to skiagraph through the thicker parts of the trunk. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
Efforts, therefore, to skiagraph the heart, the lungs, the liver, and stomach, and all the pelvic organs, probably will be fruitless to a greater or less extent until our methods are improved. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
Doubtless when we are able to devise apparatus of greater penetration, and to control the effect of the rays, we shall be able to skiagraph clearly even through the entire thickness of the body. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
We may also possibly be able to determine when the bones are properly adjusted after a fracture; and all the better, since the skiagraph can be taken through the dressings, even if wooden splints have been employed. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
Undoubtedly, as a result of the labors of so many scores of physicists and physicians as are now working at the problem, before long we shall be able to skiagraph at least the thinner parts of the body in a very brief interval. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
We do not yet know, by skiagraphs of successful results after fracture, just how such bones look during the process of healing, and, therefore, we cannot yet be sure that the skiagraph of an unsuccessful case is an evidence of unskilfulness on the part of the surgeon. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
It would be manifestly an utter impossibility to skiagraph the many fractures which are seen there daily, considering that it would take from half an hour to an hour of the time of not less than two or three assistants skilled not only in surgery, but also in electricity, to skiagraph a single fracture. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
That we are not able at present to skiagraph the soft parts of the body, does not imply that we shall not be able to do it hereafter; and should this be possible, especially with our increasing ability to penetrate thick masses of tissue, it is evident, without entering into details, that the use of the X rays may be of immense importance in obstetrics. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
To illustrate the latter first, even one thickness of bone is difficult to penetrate, so that the attempt to skiagraph the opening which had been made in a skull of a living person by a trephine entirely failed, since the bone upon the opposite side of the skull formed so dense an obstacle that not the slightest indication of the trephine opening appeared.

You can see them all quite plainly in the skiagraph. From Wordnik.com. [The Eye of Osiris] Reference
But a skiagraph, or X-ray photograph, has a fascination all its own. From Wordnik.com. [The Eye of Osiris] Reference
If you will study my skiagraph, you will see how I got my first clue. From Wordnik.com. [The Treasure-Train] Reference
"You see," pointed out Kennedy, tracing along one of the shadows with a fine-pointed pencil, and then along a corresponding position on another standard skiagraph which he already had. From Wordnik.com. [The Treasure-Train] Reference
There are, further, the suture wires in the knee-caps; Sir Morgan Bennett, having looked up the notes of the operation, informs me that he introduced three suture wires into the left patella and two into the right; which is what the skiagraph shows. From Wordnik.com. [The Eye of Osiris] Reference
A noted patient, and would have proved an excellent subject for a skiagraph, had the method then existed. From Wordnik.com. [McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 6, May, 1896] Reference
'metallic,' so to speak, by injecting a solution of bismuth in buttermilk, the usual method, by which it becomes more impervious to the X-rays and hence darker in the skiagraph. From Wordnik.com. [The Dream Doctor] Reference
At present, if the attempt is made to skiagraph the shoulder or parts of the trunk, we have to deal with organs which cannot be kept motionless, since the movements incident to breathing produce a constant to and fro movement of the shoulder, the lungs, the heart, the stomach, the liver, and other organs which, hereafter, may be made accessible to this process.
