Italian term or phrase: Layout
In un manuale di una macchina da lavoro si parla delle vibrazioni trasmesse a mano/braccio.
C'è un'immagine che illustra un corpo stilizzato con delle frecce che indicano come le vibrazioni (emesse dalla macchina durante l'uso) si diffondo sul corpo.
Il titolo dell'immagine è:

"Layout parti del corpo esposte alle vibrazioni"

Ho pensato semplicemente a "Body parts exposed to vibration" ma si perde il senso del layout. Qualche idea migliore?
Grazie!

Explanation:
I agree with your initial instinct to omit it, as the reader can see that it's a diagram or schematic representation. If you showed a graph of world population, you'd caption it "world population", not "world population graph".
