Adenographer

/ˌædənˈɒɡrəfər/ noun

Definition

A medical specialist or technician who describes, records, or creates images of glandular structures and pathology.

Etymology

From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'graphe' (description, writing, recording). This occupational term emerged in the 20th century alongside radiography and pathology to describe professionals focused on glandular imaging and documentation.

Kelly Says

Adenographers bridge medical science and visual documentation—they're the experts who can look at a gland under a microscope or on imaging and read its story like a book, spotting subtle signs of disease that others might miss.
