centring balloon

English to Dutch Medical
Is er misschien een dokter in de zaal die me kan helpen met de volgende zin?

"Light should be delivered by a fibre optic diffuser passed through the central channel of a centring balloon."

Het kan toch haast niet zo simpel zijn als "het centrale kanaal van een ballon die de diffusor in het midden houdt"?

Het gaat hier om een endoscopische lichtbehandeling.

Een plaatje van die ballon zou ik ook heel graag willen hebben.

MTIA,
Jacqueline

centrende ballon

The physicians have already completed the treatment phase of the clinical trial and are observing the patients to determine whether the “centering balloon”—invented by endoscopic PDT pioneer Gene Overholt at the University of Tennessee—will prove more effective at removing, or ablating, dysplastic tissue.

A cylindrical balloon was developed to improve delivery of circumferential light for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of esophageal carcinoma. The balloon consisted of a 36-mm-long clear cylindrical membrane and a central tube to hold a cylindrical diffuser in the center of the lumen. Three isotropic probes were placed on the outside of the balloon to allow measurement of delivered light dose to the esophageal mucosa. The balloon was tested in the normal esophagus of 8 dogs that were injected with 4.0 mg/kg of PHOTOFRINR

centrerende ballon is het juiste vertaling niet centrende ballon

agree Evert DELOOF-SYS : 'centrerende ballon', maar omschrijving door Jacqueline lijkt me zonder meer ook OK - moet wel 'centEring balloon zijn'
