respected ones would be the literal translation, but I am befuddled by its usage in this manner.


Explanation:
A clue as to its contextual meaning could be found in the nationality of the writer. I'll keep working on it.

agree  Jason Willis-Lee: or simply "normal" perhaps?
10 hrs
  -> "Normal" usually implies that the structures are fee of any pathologic process-- Here the radiologist is only saying that the CV structures are not involved in the apparent oncologic process that Paul has been telling us about... :-) Gracias Jason

agree  Gabo Pena: wow!! good one Elena!!

  -> Muchas gracias Tauros!
