'Röntgenstrahl' (X-ray beam) is made up of 'Röntgen' and 'Strahl' (beam). 'Röntgen' refers to the radiation named after Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, while 'Strahl' describes a directed flow of energy.
Der Röntgenstrahl durchdringt den Körper und wird vom Detektor aufgezeichnet.
The X-ray beam passes through the body and is recorded by the detector.
The word belongs mainly to medical and physics terminology. It frequently appears in texts about examinations, radiation protection, and the penetration of materials.
Die Ärztin erklärte, wie ein Röntgenstrahl durch das Gewebe gelangt.
The doctor explained how an X-ray beam passes through the tissue.
Typical collocations include 'Röntgenstrahlen ausgesetzt sein' (to be exposed to X-rays), 'Röntgenstrahlen abschirmen' (to shield against X-rays), and 'Röntgenstrahlen erzeugen' (to generate X-rays). These expressions often refer to the effects, protection, or technical production of the radiation.
Die Bleiwand schützt das Personal vor Röntgenstrahlen.
