Schallauslösung

English translation: acoustic attenuation

22:46 Nov 25, 2020
German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: Schallauslösung
What does Schallauslösung mean?

Context:
Das klassische Mammakarzinom ist echoarm, inhomogen, unscharf begrenzt, bewirkt eine Zerstörung der
anatomischen Strukturen und hat eine starke dorsale Schallauslösung.
Es gibt aber Übergänge von echoreich bis zystisch, selbst gutartige Tumoren können imitiert werden. Ein
rein intraduktes Tumorwachstum kann sich der sonographischen Darstellung entziehen.

Thank you!

"The phenomenon of acoustic shadowing (sometimes, somewhat tautologically, called posterior acoustic shadowing) on an ultrasound image is characterised by a signal void behind structures that strongly absorb or reflect ultrasonic waves."

agree  Magalie Modert: interestinlgy enough, I know this under the German term Schallauslöschung. "Dorsal acoustic shadowing" would be best, in my opinion. I added a link about breast cancer sonography: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.7863/jum.2004.23...
