Italian to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / cosmetic breast surgery
Italian term or phrase: spectoralifica/spectoralial
I am proofreading a text for another translator who has come across a word, in many variations, that I can't find anywhere!

Spectoralifica polimerizzazione
Spectoralifico antibiogramma

Then (the sentence has been translated into English, but the word in *s is how it appears in the Italian text:
The same survery also concludes that children breastfed by mothers with breast implants are not subject to harm, but that the prosthesis makes mammography difficult, which must therefore be carried out using *spectoralial* techniques.

...with regards to your *spectoralifica* case we must point out there is the possibility of futher complications.

Sorry these sentences are not in Italian - I have requested them.

Any help very much appreciated as this word pops its head up everywhere in the text.

spectrographic


Explanation:
the word that immediately springs to my mind is "spectrographic", but I'm not sure how this might relate to medical examinations... it could work for polymerisation though (analysis of polymerisation through spectrographic techniques).

I\'m wondering if the root is \"spettrale\", and it\'s been over - and badly - extrapolated to \"spettorale\" and hence \"spettoralifico\" etc. In which case it could just be \"spectral\". Same objection w.r.t. medical examinations though?
