Reference: maybe this will help. Reference information: Hi Mary. I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you. http://www.cardiovascularultrasound.com/content/7/1/14 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 32 mins (2009-05-07 02:01:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I know, I also can't find it in any dictionary. But maybe out of context you can make a good guess.. It might mean "compressible," but that's a wild guess. Best of luck!! |
