hemogram

This term is primarily used in clinical and laboratory settings. While it is technically a synonym for a complete blood count (CBC), "hemogram" is more common in formal medical reports and academic literature, whereas "CBC" is the standard term used in patient communication and general practice.

Because it refers to a specific diagnostic procedure, it is treated as a countable noun. A physician may order a single hemogram for a baseline check or a series of hemograms to monitor a patient's response to treatment over time.
