I could not find any reference, neither in Italian, nor in English, but I think it does not have to do with fingers, but rather with incompetent heart valves.. Maybe it's about a test to investigate if there's any incompetent valve.

Hope it helps,

What I believe they may be doing here, is checking the annularity, that is the "ROUNDNESS" of the object being tested (i.e. in carousels, or shaped/stamped items).

Hello
Odd question, odder answer. Anulare is a finger (I think it's called ring finger in English), but that doesn't really help with "anulometria" does it! I just wondered if you could find a loose "gr" somewhere in your text, which would give you a more reassuring "granulometria"!

I think, too that "anus" is related to "annulus". Some medical exams consist of examining the rectum, either with fingers or probes.
Since this is a clinical subject presumably being examined. then the idea of a rectal (anal) exam seems to fit.
"metria" is related to "meter" a unit of measurement, and therefore is just means taking measurements.

One of the previous answers refers to the ring finger, and uses the word anular. "Anelar" is I think the correct word for the ring finger.

Non avendo scovato il termine preciso, trovo che l'anuloplastica è la plastica dell'"annulus" valvolare (specialmente della mitrale). Prima di eseguire interventi di questo genere, è ovvio che si debba valutare la situazione (dimensioni e condizioni dell'anello fibroso).
