Densidad aire

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Medical report
Hello,

On a medical report the phrase says:

Partes blandas con áreas hipodensas (densidad aire) de predominio en hemitórax izquierdo.

Is it as simple as "air density"? Im just not quite sure.

Many thanks!
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Lydia De Jorge

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

air density

Por ejemplo,
...decreased density areas (air density)

Aunque seguro hay otras formas naturales de expresar la misma idea en inglés (ver enlaces abajo). No obstante, la densidad aire (air density) es una de las cuatro densidades básicas objetivables en una radiografía, por lo que la traducción más literal en este caso me parece la más natural y ajustada.


abnormal blackness (decreased density)

decreased density or lucencies

Air density

you can see examples of the four basic densities, bone, soft tissue, fat, and air, which are visible on a conventional radiograph.

Thanks Muriel ;)
neutral Neil Ashby : A bit cheeky me thinks, I did use both "density of air/air density" in my answer

Sorry Neil! I did not mean to steal no points! On reflection, I should have better posted a Ref rather than an answer. I am sorry about that, honestly.
