Although on cursory web-searching, I'm not getting any hits for +echocardiogram +nonechogenic (tho' there are hits for +echocardiogram +echogenic as well as for +nonechogenic -- i.e., the word does exist and is used, apparently -- without adding in " echocardiogram)...

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2001 Report Share Posted March 13, 2001 Hi. This was an interesting thread, to which I didn't reply earlier because Marla and Jo Ann seemed to have it covered. http://www.italpromohealthgroup.it/nam2_00b.pdf I think this article establishes synonymity between ecorifrangenza (in the main text) and ecoriflettenza (in Schema 6). So it could be translated as reflectivity or, more popularly, echogenicity. Refraction does come into play in echocardiography: http://cal.nbc.upenn.edu/lgcardiac/echo_tutorial/principles.htm - but English speakers rarely if ever refer to " ultrasound refractivity " . (Some hits in Google for " ultrasound reflectivity " , but none for " ultrasound refractivity " .) In the context (though without all the context), anechoic and borderline sound right to me. Best regards Coilín.
