Medical - Medical (general) / CT scan results
Italian term or phrase: in parte organizzata
This is a CT scan of a man who has been in a RTA and suffered a ruptured spleen. He has had his spleen removed. "Raccolta fluida in parte organizzata di circa 4 cm in sede sottodiaframmatica sin." Can anybody explain how this "in parte organizzata" fits in here? I understand that there is a collection of fluid in his left subdiaphragm, but am completely stuck with this other part of the sentence. Thanks for everybody's help.

I get the impression that the fluid is 'organised' together..so 'concentrated' in one place... I'm sure someone else will know for sure though!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Sorry, I couldn't find any references with an English translation, and would never have guessed that it means this as it sounds too literal and like a bad translation... "Organised" sounds odd here, but thanks.
