recording Explanation: In this context, I think you'd simply use "recording:" a 47-hour-13-minute recording of good quality. Each separate line or plot is a tracing (ekg tracings, eeg tracings, etc.) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2015-11-11 18:58:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "enregistrement" can be the verb "to record, recording" or the result. Tracing is the result (the linear plot). Strip refers to the type of output (a strip of paper), so by extension it could be understood as the tracing/recording itself. Depending on the context, you should be able to choose which term is more appropriate when! Have fun! Reference: http://www.practicalclinicalskills.com/ekg-interpretation.as... |

tracing Explanation: You can find plenty of references for Holter monitor tracing. In this context it is a generic and idiomatic term in medicine derived from the recording methods of the original machines. Of course today everything is electronic so it actually a virtual tracing but the nomenclature persists. http://www.researchgate.net/figure/22470934_fig2_Figure-1-Ho... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2015-11-12 06:07:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I would not place any importance on whether or not the strip is actually printed out. It's like dialling a telephone number. It is still called dialing even though buttons are pushed or images of numbers are tapped. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 hrs (2015-11-12 14:21:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- To asker: Review two or three hundred tracings and before long the word will feel perfectly natural. ;-) |
