Medical - Medical (general) / Neumología
Spanish term or phrase: claridad pulmonar
La frase aparece en el informe de un radiólogo tras realizar una placa de tórax PA.

«CLARIDAD PULMONAR CONSERVADA EN AMBOS LADOS»

¿Cuál sería el término equivalente en inglés? Según lo que estuve investigando, podría ser "density".

¡Gracias!

clear lungs/clear lung fields
Explanation:
clear lungs bilaterally

An orogastric tube, central line and Foley catheter was placed to aid feeding, medication delivery and input/output monitoring. X-ray showed clear lungs bilaterally.

It is difficult to distinguish between cardiomegaly resulting from chamber dilatation and pericardial effusion on a chest x-ray, as the findings are practically similar. An acute increase in cardiac size on serial chest x-ray, a flask-shaped heart, and relatively clear lung fields would favor the diagnosis of pericardial effusion

lung transparency


Explanation:
Una disminución de la densidad normal se conoce como hiperclaridad. Aquí la claridad alude a la transparencia (normal en el caso del OP) de las imágenes pulmonares. Creo que el concepto más ajustado sería el de lung transparency.

Aunque en tu contexto densidad normal y transparencia o claridad normal serían equivalentes, equiparar la idea de densidad y claridad puede resultar equívoco;
...y las que producen una disminución anormal de la densidad pulmonar (hiperclaridad pulmonar)
En cuanto al concepto original, preservada (conservada) bilateral alude a una claridad (o transparencia) normal de las imágenes pulmonares. Se hablaría en cambio de hiperclaridad o aumento de transparencia (o disminución de densidad, como ideas equivalentes) en caso de aumento de la densidad aire en (algún área de) la imagen radiográfica.

Increased transparency in thin-slice computed tomography of lung parenchyma.
Areas with reduced density are a common finding with thin-slice computed tomography (CT) examinations of lung parenchyma.

  -> Thank you Liz :-)

agree  neilmac: Was going to post "pulmonary clarity".... but the few refs I found are all dodgy-looking...
1 hr
  -> Thank you neilmac :-)

neutral  Chema Nieto Castañón: I believe c.l.f. conveys the idea of increased lung transparency // You are most probably right. My own take on this is based on searching rx described as such that seem to show consistent increased transparency -and generally decreased vascular markings.

  -> Thank you for your comment, though I think that in English it is simply a statement not implying any improvement or worsening of the clarity
