Analyze word parts

The term "sonography" is composed of two distinct word parts:

• The root word sono- refers to sound.
• The suffix -graphy refers to the process of recording.

Define the suffix

In medical terminology, the suffix -graphy specifically denotes the process of recording or producing an image.

• -graph refers to the instrument used to record.
• -gram refers to the actual record or picture produced.

Evaluate the options

Let's match each option with its corresponding medical terminology suffix:

• A: process of recording sound matches the suffix -graphy (sonography).
• B: a record of sound matches the suffix -gram (sonogram).
• C: instrument used to record sound matches the suffix -graph (sonograph).
• D: a picture of sound also describes the resulting image, which is a sonogram.

Determine correct answer

By analyzing the suffix -graphy, we find that "sonography" translates directly to the "process of recording sound."
