Question 3

• MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Creates detailed images of organs and tissues using magnetic fields and radio waves. It can be used for various body parts, not specifically associated with the root related to breast.
• X - ray: Uses electromagnetic radiation to create images of bones and some internal structures. While it can be used in some medical imaging, the root “mamm -” (related to breast) is more relevant for the specific term here.
• Mammogram: The root “mamm -” means breast. A mammogram is an X - ray image of the breast used for detecting breast cancer and other breast conditions.
• CT scan (Computed Tomography): Uses X - rays and computer processing to create cross - sectional images of the body. It is a general imaging technique not specifically tied to the breast root.

• Affix: By definition, an affix is a word part (like a prefix or suffix) added to a root word.
• Suffix: As the name suggests, it is added to the end of a root word (e.g., “-tion” in “education” where “educ” is the root).
• Prefix: Added to the beginning of a root word (e.g., “un -” in “unhappy” where “happy” is the root).
• ASAP: It is an abbreviation that stands for “as soon as possible”.
• Database: Used to keep records in related tables (e.g., in a relational database management system).
• Design: Can be used to create blueprints (e.g., in architectural or engineering design).

Answer:

mammogram
