Hi,
I know this term was treated before, but wanted to check if there was any new input to give since 2014 :)
The sentence in French is "amputation technique du cul-de sac costodiaphragmatique droit"
Does it mean: clipped, cut off, eroded? I am stumped with the "technique" in this case.
The text comes from Quebec and the target audience is the US.
Thanks for your assistance
Joanna

Selected
right costophrenic angle is clipped
No need for "technical", IMO, because i) "clipped" is technical, and ii) costophrenic angle (as opposed to costodiaphragmatic recess) is technical as well.

: am no expert but have seen lots of references to 'surgical clipping' which endorses the 'technical' slant

Thank you for your kind agree, although 'surgical clipping' is different from this 'clipping' due to insufficient imaging technology (lowermost lung region is not literally/surgically clipped, it is simply not captured in the x-ray image :-))

If it is the X-ray they are speaking about.

3 mars 2006 - Both R&L costophrenic angles are clipped, there is no marker and the overall appearance of the film is blurry. I would repeat it. 6:58 PM; Blogger Sebastian Grzyb said... This chest x-ray is not acceptable at all. First both of the costaphrenic angles are cut off, so the whole chest is not even on the film.

Note from asker:
Thanks Dr. Manu, should I indicate that they were cut off for "technical reasons" or is that redundant? |

: The agree situation is somewhat unbalanced, this is a valid option, too, IMO.

3 Mar 2006 - However, also according to Bushong, poor-quality radiographs are difficult for the human eye to interpret. This film has cut-off both of the costophrenic angles, the right apice appears to be very close to being cut-off, and there aren't any visible markers on the film. Therefore, I believe the film to be not of good ...

to the temptation to raise the film and field, or the costophrenic angles at the bases of the lungs will be clipped. Remember that each edge of this light field will grow by 1 to 2 inches before it exits the patient. Also, recall that while fat grows primarily outside the bony thorax, the lungs are con— tained within the bony rib cage ...
