Adenographic

/ˌædənəʊˈɡræfɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the description, imaging, or detailed visual documentation of glandular structures and tissues.

Etymology

From Greek 'aden' (gland) + 'graphe' (writing, description) + '-ic' (relating to). This descriptive term emerged in the 20th century as radiography and imaging technology advanced, allowing for new specialized visualizations of glandular anatomy.

Kelly Says

Adenographic imaging lets doctors see inside glands without cutting them open—from ultrasound to CT to MRI, these imaging techniques have revolutionized how we diagnose glandular diseases before they become emergencies.
