mammograms

[Gość: Norge]

"On Mar.22, you and others who clicked on the "Fund Free Mammograms"
www.thebreastcancersite.com button funded 5.6 mammograms for underprivileged
women". Co oznacz "mammogram" - czy jest to nazwa pojedynczego badania jednej
kobiety czy nazwa aparatu do wykonywania tych badan?

mammogram=mammografia
mammogram-pojedyncze badanie
mammograms-liczba mnoga
aparat do wykonywania badan-mammograf

Jak wpisuję w słowniku ang-pol mammograph to pokazuje że nie ma takiego
wyrazu.To jak jest aparat do wykonywania zdjęć mammograficznych po angielsku?

Apparently it is called... an X-ray machine! Or so it says on the very same
website you visited earlier... Try: www.thebreastcancersite.com/cgi-

An x-ray machine and a mamograph are two entirely different things.
You cannot get a mamogram from an x-ray machine, nor can you get an x-ray from
a mamograph. Mammograms are taken by a mamograph.
An example of a mamograph can be found at the following site:

Yes, I believe you as I was surprised myself when I read it. However, I only
repeated what that "expert" site said.... :P

Both machines use x-rays therefore both are x-ray machines.
The mammograph uses different setup and dosage but operates on the same principle.
How do I know? My wife's a genius.
