Spanish term or phrase: PB.
This abbreviation was at the very end of a medical letter accompanied by X-rays from a radiology physician in Colima, Mexico. It was followed by the Dr.'s final conclusion/analysis. I have no idea and would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Explanation:
might be the translation...

This question was posted in KudoZ before: Look for "PB Crohn" and similar thanigs (on April 30, and May 1)

If you look in google under "PB radiología" or "PB radiografía" you get lots of references (296 and 601) with many speaking of "plumbum=lead", some oo "fenobarbital (PB)", or "perímetro barbital", also denominating initials of names and other abbreviations or acronyms - among other things that I have forgotten.

But try KudoZ, too!

Good luck!

In KudoZ please also try:
\"PB enfermedad de crohn\" - that\'s the one!!

Thank you for your help - I'm not certain the answer was correct for this context ("brachial perimeter" or "arm circumference" as the X rays were of a knee), but it certainly offered a good suggestion and other leads to follow, and was helpful.

Pb = lead


Explanation:
wild wild guess, since lead (protection) and Xrays are interconnected. However, I realize that the lead symbol is Pb and not PB
