vtq

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Anatomic Pathology
The following appears in an Anatomic Pathology report for a lung biopdy.
1. Ganglio 9: se reciben dos fragmentos de tejido con áreas adiposas y otras pardo grisáceas, el mayor de 15 x 8 mm. Se incluyen ambos fragmentos en su totalidad (TACO 1) 2tt.
2. Ganglio 8: se recibe un fragmento de tejido … Se incluye todo el fragmento en su totalidad (TACO 2) 1tt.
3. Ganglio 7: se reciben varios fragmentos de tejido … Se incluya todo el material en su totalidad (TACO 3 y 4) vtt.

7. Lobectomía inferior izquierda: se recibe pieza de lobectomía inferior … Al corte seriado y paralelo en esta región se identifica una lesión tumoral … A los cortes seriados y paralelos del resto del parénquima no se identifican otras lesiones. … Se incluya la lesión tumoral completa (TACO 8 y 9), los márgenes (TACO 10) y parénquima pulmonar sin particularidades (TACO 11) vtq.

INCLUSIÓN
Vtq VS.

Can anyone advise me what "vtq" is intended to indicate here? Thanks.
(I have submitted a previous query for "vtt").

Thanks for your suggestions. I think it is indeed an internal code for identifying the number of fragments (1, 2 or several) submitted/embeddied. I think the "q" may be indicating "surgical", but not sure. In the end I just included a comment to this effect.

Hi, could this be Virtual Touch Tissue Quantification?

The fourth paragraph in the introduction:
SWE, on the other hand, uses system-generated acoustic pulses to deform the tissues instead of manual compression. It gives superior image quality with reduced inter-operator variability, and hence, more objective than SE.[9],[10] Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) technique is a type of SWE where the displacement of target tissues is achieved by using acoustic radiation pulses generated by the ultrasound transducer without any external compression, followed by monitoring of the deformation response. The elastic response of the tissues can be expressed qualitatively as Virtual Touch tissue imaging (VTI) elastograms and quantitatively by Virtual Touch tissue quantification (VTQ).

I was trying to help you but did not find anything useful. I guess this is an internal code to label the blocks (tacos): 2tt, 1tt, vtt, vtq.
