Morphology
venography = veno + graphy
The term is built from the combining form veno- and the medical suffix -graphy, but the exact medical test meaning is specialized and not fully predictable for an average learner.
Etymology
Venography comes from vena meaning 'vein' and the ending -graphy meaning 'to record' or 'to make a picture', just like photography. So venography literally means making an X-ray picture or record of the veins, which is why doctors use dye to see them clearly.
