German term

flau (here)

German to English Medical Medical (general) plastic surgery
"Flaue Verschattung der beiden Mittel- und Unterfelder, DD nach dorsal auslaufender
Pleuraerguss mit angrenzender Minderbelüftung"

We've had many questions with "flau" already, I know. But what is the intended meaning here: slight opacification, patchy opacification, poorly demarcated opacification?

Thanks a lot for your input!

German term (edited): flaue Verschattung
Selected

hazy opacification

"Flau" includes both low grade and poor delimitation. The English equivalent is "hazy", AFAIK.
Note from asker:
Thanks, Anne. I confirmed with an Austrian professor of medicine and he thought "slight" was alright here.
Peer comment(s):

agree uyuni : with 'hazy'. 'Slight' does not meet the context (visual appearance) here, at least not in my perception.
