Medical - Medical (general) / Chest X-ray
French term or phrase: Paramédiastinale
Hi,

Chest X-ray text uses both "grande coulée ganglionnaire paramédiastinale droite" and "grande coulée ganglionnaire médiastinale droite" to identify the same lymph node metastases.

Is "Paramédiastinale" the same as "médiastinale"?

Thanks

para-1


a prefix appearing in loanwords from Greek, most often attached to verbs and verbal derivatives, with the meanings “at or to one side of, beside, side by side” (parabola; paragraph; parallel; paralysis), “beyond, past, by” (paradox; paragogue); by extension from these senses, this prefix came to designate objects or activities auxiliary to or derivative of that denoted by the base word (parody; paronomasia), and hence abnormal or defective (paranoia), a sense now common in modern scientific coinages (parageusia; paralexia). As an English prefix, para-1 may have any of these senses; it is also productive in the naming of occupational roles considered ancillary or subsidiary to roles requiring more training, or of a higher status, on such models as paramedical and paraprofessional: paralegal; paralibrarian; parapolice.
