A Proposed Lexicon for the Instrumental Observation of the Human Body

This technical note proposes six related English headwords for the systematic description of instruments, introduced agents, sensors, samplers, detectors, and readout systems through which the living human body becomes observable: instrumentomics, somagnomy, somatalogue, somatheca, somaphanics, and instrumentome. It defines their semantic relationships, formation, usage, related forms, and coinage status. The document establishes a dated lexical specification and does not itself constitute dictionary acceptance, medical advice, or exclusive legal rights.

Abstract

This technical note proposes six related English headwords for the systematic description of instruments, introduced agents, sensors, samplers, detectors, and readout systems through which the living human body becomes observable: instrumentomics, somagnomy, somatalogue, somatheca, somaphanics, and instrumentome. It defines their semantic relationships, formation, usage, related forms, and coinage status. The document establishes a dated lexical specification and does not itself constitute dictionary acceptance, medical advice, or exclusive legal rights.
