pelvimetry
This term is a specialized medical descriptor used almost exclusively within obstetrics and gynecology. It carries a clinical, technical register and is rarely encountered outside of professional medical reports or academic textbooks. The focus is on the precise anatomical quantification of the pelvic inlet and outlet.
Because it describes a specific diagnostic procedure, it is treated as an uncountable noun. It refers to the process or the science of measurement rather than a discrete object that can be counted.
