ecography

'ecography' is not used in standard English; English says 'ultrasound'

⚠️ La trampa

Italian uses 'ecografia' (from 'eco' = echo) as the standard term for ultrasound. English speakers say 'ultrasound' or 'sonogram'. 'Ecography' exists in English technical literature but is never used in conversation. A clear lexical false friend.

Para decir "'ecography' is not used in standard English; English says 'ultrasound'" en italiano:

ecografia (correct)

"ecografia" en español significa:

ultrasound scan (echography)

Ejemplo

"La dottoressa ha ordinato un'ecografia addominale."

"The doctor ordered an abdominal ultrasound."
