Dutch term or phrase: atelectatischingedicht
"Gekende hoogstand van de rechter diafragmakoepel met aanliggend waarschijnlijk passief atelectatischingedicht longweefsel"
Just an assumption because I have found no occurences of this term.
"Known elevation of the right hemidiaphragm with adjacent probably passive atelectasis-related thick lung tissue"??
This is the only info in the chest X-ray section of a patient case report.
Thanks very much!

Having a closer look at the whole sentence...

It looks more like there is a space-occupying lesion in the liver or liver enlargement with elevation of the right hemidiaphragm.

Since the right hemidiaphragm was pushed upwards the adjacent lung tissue was compressed and thereby 'ingedicht'.

If so, then perhaps this is just the best way to put it:

Known elevation of the right hemidiaphragm with dense, compressed adjacent lung tissue.

Or:

Known elevation of the right hemidiaphragm with dense adjacent lung tissue due to passive or compression atelectasis.

However I don't think the term 'passive atelectasis' is used here according to the definition even if you find (compression) atelectasis in combination with liver enlargement:



Example with liver enlargement:

Chest radiography usually shows a raised right hemidiaphragm with atelectasis or pleural effusion.

agree  Tina Vonhof (X): No explanation of what it really means.

  -> Thanks, Tina. In short consolidation due to atelectasis. You may argue that 'atelectatic opacities' is an option as well. // Had a closer look, see explanation.
neutral  Maja Keizers (X): In consolidation, the alveoli are filled with liquid, in atelectasis they have deflated. I would go for atelectatic collapse instead. Then again, yours is a combination of terms that does show up frequently on www.

  -> I think I would go for: 'dense, compressed (adjacent lung tissue)' // I stand by my reading but solved it for glossary purposes as: see glossary entry (literal translation)
