X-RAYS REPORT
Hi! I am translating a medical report - X-rays esophagus-stomach-duodenum with contrast agent.
I really need some help with the following sentence:
ALL'ESAME DIRETTO MICROPUNTO METALLICO SUL TERZO MEDIO DELL'ESOFAGO.
Context:
The sentence before which is also the start of the report says:
"UTILE LA VISIONE DI RADIOGRAMMI PRECEDENTI E DELLA CARTELLA CLINICA PER UNA MIGLIOR VALUTAZIONE DEL QUADRO ATTUALE..ALL'ESAME DIRETTO - SEE SENTENCE ABOVE -"
My idea:
TEST METALLIC .... OF THE MIDDLE THIRD OF THE ESOPHAGUS..
I am just not understanding the sense of the sentence in italian and I hope I can get some assistance. thank you translators! Naomi.

microdot
microdot seems to subsume metallic so would keep it like this
