German term

Gewebe "durchleuchten"

German to English Medical Medical: Instruments bronchoscopy
Ich benötige den passenden Begriff für durchleuchten. Bei einer Bronoskopie werden mit dem Bronchioskop Lichtbilder von der Lunge gemacht. Mit dieser Methode ist es möglich, (benachbarte) Gewebeschichte zu durchleuchten. Gefunden habe ich nur "to X-ray" für durchleuchten. Da es sich aber nicht um Röntgenaufnahmen handelt, scheint mir das nicht der passende Begriff.

Vielen Dank für Vorschläge

to x-ray tissue

It actually is about x-rays. The radiation dose is, however, higher than in regular x-rays since it is a continuous mode...

disagree Cetacea : A bronchoscopy does not involve x-rays. You are referring to a bronchography.

Well...the term Durchleuchtung is a medical term for X-rays. If it was used in the context of a bronchoscopy ( and you are right about bronchoscopy not utilizing x-rays), then it is an unfortunate term in the context.

view

Mein Vorschlag: The adjoining tissue layers may be viewed with a bronchoscope.

During the bronchoscopy, pictures of the inside of your bronchial tubes are transmitted through a camera attachment to a TV monitor.

Ich nehme an, dass "durchleuchten" im Sinne von "mit Licht anschauen" gemeint ist, so wie man umgangssprachlich sagen könnte "ich durchleuchte den Raum mit der Taschenlampe". Die Funktionsweise ein Bronchoskops und der Ablauf einer Bronchoskopie sind auf der obigen Webseite beschrieben.
