Spanish term

artefactuado

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) acute fetal distress
Hello

I think this means "distorted/skewed", but I am unable to find any convincing English language medical refs.

Pruebas:

RM cerebral: Estudio artefactuado. No hay sesiones focales. No se consigue visualizar el cuerpo calloso. No se visualiza imagen de hemorragia de plexo coroideo izdo ni asimetria de los ventrículos con se veía en eco cerebral anterior.

Excuse any typos but I have a very poor scanned copy in front of me.

Thank you!
Liz Askew

Hi Liz,
It means that the images are substandard, unclear, has elements that cover the structures that are supposed to be visualized, etc.
I hope this helps :-)
