Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) MRI
In an MRI report from Spain for translation to British English. Reporting the results of a breast MRI scan on a patient who had undergone a mastectomy.

"Fluido periprotésico que podría corresponder a seroma hacia el radio VI, de mayor volumen, que tiene un diámetro de hasta X x Y mm de extensión en sus diámetros transverso y antera posterior respectivamente."

all I can find is "radial fold"
BristolTEc (asker) Aug 20, 2021:
No, but I am not that surprised personally that the specific wording of a single medical report differs from what might be considered "standard" wording.
liz askew Aug 20, 2021:
"hacia el radio VI" is nowhere to be found on the net!

6 o'clock region

This is a wild guess. It's not uncommon in MRI studies to refer to the regions of the breast according to the hours on a clock.

Supine breast US: how to correlate breast lesions from prone MRI
Breast glands were divided into nine regions based on the clock positions (eight 45 ° segments plus a central subareolar region) in order to identify even minimum lesion displacement (Figure 7). In particular:

upper outer region (UOR) (centred between 1 and 2 o'clock in the left breast and between 10 and 11 o'clock in the right breast)

equatorial outer region (EOR) (centred on 3 o'clock in the left breast and on 9 o'clock in the right breast)

lower outer region (LOR) (centred between 4 and 5 o'clock in the left breast and between 7 and 8 o'clock in the right breast)

lower median region (LMR) (centred on 6 o'clock for both breasts)

lower inner region (LIR) (centred between 7 and 8 o'clock in the left breast and between 4 and 5 o'clock in the right breast)

equatorial inner region (EIR) (centred on 9 o'clock in the left breast and on 3 o'clock in the right breast)

upper inner region (UIR) (centred between 10 and 11 o'clock in the left breast and between 1 and 2 o'clock in the right breast)

upper median region (UMR) (centred on 12 o'clock for both breasts)

subareolar (SA) region (the glandular tissue located in the central part of the breast extending from the nipple to the pectoral muscle).

segment VI

My guess is "segment", based on the information I found here:

https://www.elsevier.es/es-revista-cirugia-espanola-english-...

Segment I (Lateral)
Segment II (Upper)
Segment III (Infraclavicular)
Segment IV (Upper Medial)
Segment VI (Lower)
Segment VII (Inframammary)
Segment VIII (Central)
