in situ

In anatomy: in situ refers to viewing structures as they appear in normal healthy bodies. For example, one can open up a cadaver's abdominal cavity and view the liver in situ or one can look at an isolated liver that has been removed from the cadaver's body.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ

Con il termine latineggiante "In situ" si vuole indicare qualcosa che rimane nella sede che gli compete.

È usato spesso in medicina per indicare appunto le posizioni fisiologiche di parti anatomiche ma anche per indicare una particolare patologia che rimane nella sua sede patologica.

Esempi

- La colonna vertebrale in situ segue l'asse maggiore del corpo

Peer comment(s):

neutral Joseph Tein : Ciao Glinda. I think that "in situ" is generally a very valid translation of "in sede" ... but I find very few online examples used with "heart" or "cardiovascular image"

I imagine that is because it's a very technical term, but then, it is taken from a x-ray medical report, and I can't think of anything more technical ^^ I thought about "in situ" aldo because it's quite short and direct, like its Italian equivalent...
neutral Lirka : used in histology/pathology

Yes but not only - try googling "living heart/brain/liver/pancreas in situ"... But I definitely know it's quite a specific term.

in normal position

It appears that it just means that the structure or image is in normal position. Maybe one of our Italian natives can confirm.

One example of an excerpt using this phrase, which is very common when you search it online:

... the cardiac shadow was still displaced to the left ... the trachea in the midline, heart *in normal position*, right lung completely aerated...

Thank you.
agree SJLD : but of course if the heart is not "in situ" the patient is in big trouble! ;-)

Is that when doctors say "his heart's in the right place"?
