Italian term or phrase: raccolta
From a CT scan in a medical report of a patient with a failing kidney. I'm not sure how best to translate it in this instance.
in fase tardiva si riconoscere escrezione di mdc a livello dei calici del gruppo inferiore con regolare drenaggio attraverso il catetere sino in vescica; scarsa l'escrezione di mdc a livello dei calici del gruppo superiore: anteriormente ad essi, nettamente aumentata di volume ** la raccolta **precedentemente descritta con maggiori dimensioni di [...] che risale lungo la vena renale omolaterale; nel contesto della**raccolta ** si documentano abbondanti tracce gassose. I reperti descritti sono sospetti per sovrainfezione della ** raccolta ** con verosimile diretta comunicazione con la via escretrice.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
