indichting

English translation: opacity / density

Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / thorax, lungs
Dutch term or phrase: indichting
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.

Notes to answerer
Asker: This indeed is about radiology. It concerns a XR of the thorax. So Barend may be right.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: 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
