Re: cardiomediastinum is OK

Rennie,

I knew, when I was doing my Rad work, that I'd often transcribed

" cardiomediastinum " but couldn't document it at the time of your post.

Well, I rifled through ALL my Rad books and finally found it (source:

Dorland's Radiology/Oncology Word Brook for MTs - pg. 52 ...

lists: cardiomediastinum

cardiomediastinal shadow

Hope this helps you ....

Hi :

Taking a hint from you, I looked in Stedman's Cardiology/Pulmonary Words

and found " cardiomediastinal silhouette, " which sounds to me like a

close relative of cardiomediastinal shadow!

If Stedman's would put all their eggs in one basket, or all their

related terms in one book . . . oh, well, it would be too heavy to lift.

, COOL! Thank you! I emailed my instructor already but followed up with

a " never mind " !!

Now it's officially allowed into my custom.dic. I'm very picky about what I let

in there.

p.s. Jayni, the context *was* cardiomediastinum silhouette.

I goofed in my post. The usage *was* cardiomediastinal. Here's an example:

" The cardiomediastinal

silhouette is unchanged from the prior study. "

Sorry about that, Valeria.

Re: Re: cardiomediastinum is OK

Analyzing that term, I'd say that " cardiomediastinal " is acceptable because it

literally translates

as " pertaining to the heart and the mediastinum. " I don't think that there is

any area of the body

called the " cardiomediastinum, " but to be on the safe side, I am forwarding this

message to our

anatomy and physiology professor, Dr. Charlotte , for her opinion.

I believe I'd have transcribed " cardiomediastinal silhouette. "
