German term

veratmet

German to English Medical Medical (general) MRI
MRT Abdomen und Becken (bei einem Pat. mit multiplen Metastasen):

"Die miterfassten basalen Thoraxabschnitte sind weitgehend veratmet, zeigen links einen Pleuraerguss. Ferner Zwerchfellhochstand links mit basaler Kompressionsatelektase des Unterlappens."

Was heißt in diesem Fall "veratmet"?

Vielen Dank,

Sibylle.

appear blurred owing to breathing motion/breathing artefacts

I don't know if there is a standard phrase for this; it means that the indicated Areas Shows Motion-blurring, in this case due to to Respiration.

•Optimal density and contrast will demonstrate the entire outline of the humerus. Overlying ribs and lung markings should appear blurred because of breathing technique, but bony outlines of the humerus should appear sharp, indicating no motion of the arm during the exposure.

blurred/distorted

... the thoracic segments are largely blurred/distorted ...

"Das Personal macht sich unglaubwürdig, wenn es immer dem Patienten die Schuld zuschiebt, er habe die Röntgenaufnahme "verwackelt" oder "veratmet".
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=j-_rDA2go9IC&pg=PA7&lpg=P... (p. 7)

Unschärfe durch "Veratmen" wird seltener, seit leistungsfähigere mobile Röntgengeräte eingesetzt werden.

Image distortion or blur caused by patient motion during the
exam
can significantly affect the attenuation correction of
PET images and compromise the ability to precisely localize a
lesion and accurately quantify its size.

This eliminates blurring in the image caused by breathing or other patient motion.
http://www.imaginis.com/mri-scan/frequently-asked-questions-...

In this paper, we are to evaluate whether respiratory motion artifacts exist at the level of the interface of the diaphragm and lung in PET images, and to develop a respiratory motion detecting
system to correct blurring effect due to breathing during
PET scanning using a laser optical displacement sensor and
gated data acquisition mode.

Removing distortion from respiratory motion in the PET images is of importance for gated or 4D radiation treatments.

respiratory motion artefact

AFAIK this is the most common term.
Example sentence:
