Medical - Medical (general) / check up report
French term or phrase: lumière veineuse
In a patient check up report of the findings of a Doppler ultrasound it says: au niveau poplité il occupant environ 50% de la lumière veineuse.
I have found Venous lumen which seems to be the right term, but i have also found venous luminal, which I am not sure is correct. Could someone please help?
