Italian term

ampiezza

Italian to English Medical Medical (general) MRI on lumbosacral region
I am not sure how to translate ampiezza in this context:

Canale rachideo (spinal canal) *di ampiezza nei limiti* nel restante tratto lombare esaminato.
Cono midollare (conus medullaris) *in sede di ampiezza* e morfologia regolare.

Thanks.

Really helpful answers - thanks very much.

Width - was what I was originally thinking - width of spinal canal.
Amy Christie (asker) Nov 30, 2005:
Thanks for your help so far. How would 'in sede di ampiezza' work - 'conus medullaris within normal size'?

width

...is OK for "ampiezza"; "in sede" just means "in its (proper) place".

They're saying that the conus medullaris is of normal width and morphology, and in its proper place.
