Dutch term

Cave verdichting

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general) Text is from Belgium so it\'s technically Flemish
This is in the context of pneumonia. I assume it means something like volume constriction but can't find "cave" in any reference to lungs.

So, they basically warn to watch out for consolidation.

Termen:
•infiltraat = abnormale onscherpe verdichting in de longen.
•consolidatie = de luchthoudende alveoli worden vervangen door vocht, bloed, pus, mucus, oedeem of een andere substantie.
•pneumonie (longontsteking) = ontsteking (lucht vervangen door pus) van de alveoli, dus een vorm van consolidatie.

Figuur 16. Retrocardiale consolidatie in de linker onderkwab. De mediale zijde van het linker hemidiafragma is niet meer scherp afgrensbaar (silhouetfenomeen). De consolidatie creëert ook gering volumeverlies; het linker hemidiafragma is naar craniaal verplaatst (atelectase).
