mammography
This term refers specifically to the technical process of radiographic imaging. It carries a clinical and sterile connotation, typically associated with preventative healthcare and diagnostic oncology. While it describes the procedure itself, it is often used interchangeably in casual conversation to refer to the appointment or the resulting image.
As a mass noun representing a medical technique, it is treated as uncountable. One does not refer to a single mammography as a mammographies; instead, a patient undergoes a mammography session or receives a mammogram, which is the countable noun referring to the actual image produced.
