'Röntgenbild' (X-ray image) is often used with verbs such as 'anfertigen' (to make), 'aufnehmen' (to take), 'auswerten' (to evaluate), and 'beurteilen' (to assess). For the examination itself, people often say that an X-ray image is made or taken.

When describing what can be seen in the image, German normally uses 'auf' (on) with the dative: 'auf dem Röntgenbild' (on the X-ray image). This phrase is often used with 'sehen' (to see), 'erkennen' (to recognize), or 'zeigen' (to show).
