1840 Amer. Repository 1 24 The varieties of engraving were in line, stipple, etching,..lithography, (including engraving and etching on stone,) fluorography, (and impressions therefrom, taken direct from the glass plates,) Pentography, &c.
1902 Process Photogram Jan. 12 Fluorography is a process for transferring lithographic and collotype prints to glass by means of an ink containing fluorine. The fluorine ink is then treated with sulphuric acid, the hydrofluoric acid thus liberated attacking the glass and etching in the image.

1896 W. J. Morton & E. W. Hammer X Ray or Photogr. of Invisible iv. viii. 164 Many names have been given to pictures taken by the X Ray and to the method of so taking them... X Ray photography, shadowgraphy, radiography,..fluorography, skiagraphy..and Roentgenography.
1897 T. E. Satterthwaite in Med. Rec. 10 Apr. 509/1 The method which I call fluorography is destined to overcome this difficulty, reducing the silhouette of the heart to its actual size... I apply the Crookes tube to each successive point behind and the silhouette will be found to correspond closely with the outlines of the heart.
1945 Jrnl. Sci. Instruments 22 75/1 The ‘Kodak’ fluorographic unit was designed primarily to photograph the fluorescent screen image of medical subjects provided by X-rays... This process is now known as ‘fluorography’ (having been formerly known as ‘mass miniature radiography’).

b. A form of autoradiography in which the sample is impregnated with a scintillator or fluor to improve sensitivity.
