Tech/Engineering - Geology

I'm looking for a good definition for this.

Selected answer:internal size
Explanation:
There are two kinds of measurings: endo- and exo-.

The former one is something internal and the latter one is something external.

In your case, I believe, it's about internal volume (space) measuring of a cavity.

Just an addition: `Endo-\' and `exo-\' prefices come from Greek.

measurement using endoscopic techniques


Explanation:
From googling, this appears to be a recent coinage and presumably refers to making measurements using endoscopic techniques. The only remotely relevant hits I can find relate to dentistry (root canal surgery). Most of the hits for 'endometric' relate to an alternate spelling (or misspelling?) of 'endometrial'.
