Translating Diagnostic Imaging. Part 3

In Part 3 of the 'Diagnostic Imaging' series, we will further investigate the functions of a further imaging modality: echocardiography. Echocardiography is one of the most common imaging modalities because of its portability and wide range of applications. Consequently, it is essential that medical translators have a good grasp of the general medical concepts for normal and abnormal imaging, as well as a thorough understanding of the terminology. We will examine transthoracic echocardiograms, transesophageal echocardiograms and cardiac stress tests. Finally, we will also address 3-D and 4-D echocardiography and contrast enhancement. As always, we will balance terminology with real-world translation examples to address the real-life challenges of translating these reports.

At the end of this session, participants will be able:

• To define and understand the essential concepts and technology of echocardiography in screening and diagnosis.
  
• To have a grasp of the main terminology necessary to read and translate echocardiograms.
  
• To identify the main terminological challenges in translating echocardiogram reports.
  
• To identify source-target resources to ensure accurate translations of echocardiograms.

Translators already specialising in medical translation. Translators considering crossing exploring a more specialised and technical area of medical translation. Translators with a healthcare background wishing to improve their source-target terminology skills.

At the end of this session, participants will be able:
