Hello!

Could you kindly please tell me which one is the correct form for American English: hematology or haematology? I should say: hematology/haematology tests or hematological/haematological tests?

Thank you very much in advence!

Hi,

I believe that the normal use in AmE is hematology rather than haematology, and that this is also true of other 'ae' words, such as pediatrician/paediatrician.

Best wishes, Clive

Hi- in American English it's Hematology.  You can say either hematology tests or hematological tests.
