Medical - Medical (general)
Dutch term or phrase: gesystematiseerde
In a Flemish text: it is a report on a chest X-ray:
"geen gesystematiseerde longverdichtingen" (no further context).
I am assuming this is from the French 'systematisé', but am still not able to find a satisfactory English translation.
'Systematised' does not seem to be used in native English texts.
Any help much appreciated!

systematized or -tised
Explanation:
"order - bring order to or into;"... The terminology, I believe, is referring to the fact that there is no systemized pattern of atelectasis visible on the x-ray. You might want to add "pattern" to the word as previously suggested. Good luck!

I put systematised because I think the word relates to physical 'systems' or structures.

patterned


Explanation:
this might be worth looking into. the term 'systematiseren' means 'groeperen' or 'ordenen'. The way I interpret the term, there is no obvious (disconscerning) pattern observed on the X-ray.

"Measurements of lung resistance and elastance (RL and EL) from 0.1 to 8 Hz reflect both the mean level and pattern of lung constriction."
