German term

Röntgen-Bauchübersicht

German to English Medical Medical (general)
Aus einer medizinischen Beurteilung (Ausschnitt).
Danach geht es weiter mit: Bild gut beurteilbar, gute Beleuchtung. Etwas Gas im Darm. Linke Niere ist leicht vergrößert.
Konkrement zu 1.5 x 0.5 cm mediodistal der linken Niere auf Höhe von L3 passend zu proximalem (Ureter-)Stein links

Würde *abdomen x-ray* hier passen?
Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob eine *Bauchübersicht* eine spezifische Bedeutung hat.

Danke für jeden Hinweis.

heidi (X) May 30, 2015:
The THX goes to uyuni, (and not me), for it was uyuni who opened his/her explanation with the sentence: "Plain X-ray of the abdomen, not a contrast study..."
Nora Morrison (asker) May 30, 2015:
Thanks, uyuni - I guess I was a bit slow on the uptake; at least my gut feeling about some specific meaning of *Bauchübersicht* was correct :)
uyuni May 30, 2015:
Nora, you got it (THX to heidi).
And it's not necessarily done with the patient lying flat (supine position).
Quite the contrary today's standard technique is the left lateral decubitus position.
Nora Morrison (asker) May 30, 2015:
Thanks, Heidi, for pointing this out! So now, I understand that an *abdominal x-ray* could be either a plain X-ray or a contrast study, while a *Bauchübersicht* is NEVER a contrast study but ALWAYS done with the patient lying flat? My original choice was based on the fact that I don't know whether it was done with the patient was lying flat.
heidi (X) May 30, 2015:
Calling it an 'abdominal x-ray' would be missing out on the fact that it is a plain X-ray of the abdomen, and not a contrast study.
Nora Morrison (asker) May 30, 2015:
Thanks, everyone - have a great weekend! I tend to go with Ruth but I will wait until 24 hors have passed, before I select the most helpful answer.
uyuni May 29, 2015:
zebung, please be assured that "Abdomenübersicht" is an X-ray technique only...
zebung May 29, 2015:
Gotcha. I still think think knowing what type of machine would be helpful. Scan, ultrasound... You are correct, just trying to narrow down the possible options... If it is not known, maybe "imaging" could be used. Hard to say without more info. Even the type of patient is important - ER/triage (e.g. acute pancreatitis) a follow-up after admission...
uyuni May 29, 2015:
Hi zebung, correct, strictly speaking, but still colloquial parlance, though, among medics and please see my note posted a minute earlier...;-)
zebung May 29, 2015:
depends on what machine was used
zebung May 29, 2015:
abdominal

abdominal plain film/plain abdominal film

Plain X-ray of the abdomen, not a contrast study...

For this reason you should call it an *abdominal plain film* or abdomen film rather than a “flat plate,” an obsolete term that derives from a time when images where made on large glass plates instead of x-ray film.

We describe a feature of intussusception seen on *plain abdominal films* that to our knowledge has not been previously described

Comparison of sonography and *plain films* in evaluation of the acute abdomen
http://www.ajronline.org/doi/abs/10.2214/ajr.144.1.49

In recent years, new techniques such as ultrasonography, computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging have been used widely and have altered the use of *plain films of the abdomen* in the evaluation of abdominal diseases.

Can low-dose abdominal CT replace *abdominal plain film* in evaluation of acute abdominal pain?

thank you kmaincor!
neutral philgoddard : I don't see how you get from "Übersicht" to "flat plate". Why do you think Ruth's answer is wrong? Just a friendly question :-)

This is the wording used when it's ordered, another insider expression in medicine
