I am translating a medical report and it refers to parenchymindichtingen. It is from a Belgian health care provider so it may be Flemish. I have come across longindichting as well but cannot find a translation for the actual word "indichting". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

opacity / density
As source term was pl(e)ural, this could translate as parenchymal opacities/densities.
Note from asker:
| This indeed is about radiology. It concerns a XR of the thorax. So Barend may be right. |

: I have done some more research and Flemish 'indichting' may be a radiological term after all (ref. to degrees of opacity), rather than a description of pathological process (my assumption), see: https://tinyurl.com/rasy2es ; https://tinyurl.com/uyp7f9n

parenchymal consolidation
Gaat waarschijnlijk over consolidatie
consolidatie - verdichting van weefsel, bv longweefsel bij atelectase

indichting = verdichting maar na verder speuren op het internet lijkt het waarschijnlijker dat 'indichting' verwijst naar een verdichting (opacity / density) op een thoraxfoto, CT-scan, etc. dan naar een weefselverdichting / consolidatie.
Daarbij kan die radiologische verdichting verschillen in vorm en intensiteit, waarbij consolidatie een eigen patroon en intensiteit van radiologische verdichting heeft.
'parenchymindichtingen' kan dan 'parenchymal opacities' zijn waarbij de 'opacity' niet noodzakelijkerwijs het patroon en de intensiteit van 'opacity' bij consolidatie heeft.
