agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: "captation" seems to be abundantly used in scientific literature, but I understand it is unacceptable to native speakers?

  -> if you look at the dictionary definition of "captation" in English, you would certainly not use it either :-)
agree  John Willemsen: I agree. It's a common medical term. Speaking from personal experience.

captation


Explanation:
"capteren" means catching, grabbing or seizing. It is often used in connection with isotopes

Example sentence(s):
  • In all cases the images showed that captation of the radiotracer by the neoplasm was satisfactory
  • Lung scintigraphy: In the control group, despite higher captation in the right lung, it was not significantly different from the left
