filling defect
"Filling defect" is term referring to a region lacking signal in many medical imaging techniques. It is often phrased as "dark filling defect" or "low signal intensity filling defect."
Example sentence:
The size and number of calculi are well demonstrated as dark “fi lling defects” within the high signal intensity of the common bile duct,... (From ref. below)

: yes - or even "signal filling defect" e.g. see here: "signal filling defect in the gallbladder" http://journals.lww.com/cdronline/Documents/CDRv35n14_Discus...

: I can't see any reason why we should use the equivalent for "Füllungsdefekt" when there is an exact equivalent for the German OT in English//"Signal" is an MRI-specific term; it can't be used for other imaging techniques.

My impression is that both terms are functionally equivalent and used interchangeably in the literature. However, in my own experience I have come across "filling defect" more frequently in imaging literature - but "signal void" is certainly equally valid
