Dutch term

cinemagrafie

Dutch to English Medical Medical: Cardiology
This follows a sentence about SPECT/CT of the heart. 'De cinemagrafie toont een normal linkerventrikel'.
Is this the same as cine-imaging, or something else?

Thanks

Shall I offer it as an answer?

However, I am not sure whether "cinemagrafie" is a correct term:

Cinemagrafie is een combinatie van film en fotografie waarin een gedeelte van een foto beweegt.

Please have a look at this beautiful girl:

radionuclide imaging in cine mode Suppose this is about radionuclide imaging of cardiac function rather than about conventional cineangiography.

Is this the case?
But let's suppose this is the case.

Then 'cinemagrafie' would be a word that pertains to this technique.

Then I see in your reference things like:

Principal components analysis is an alternative form of assessing regional function, creating a visually more pleasing motion image by reducing the appearance of noise in the cine.

A visual qualitative assessment of the regional ventricular WM is made by displaying the dynamic images as a cinematic loop in all three standard views.

A large number of computer programmes have been developed for analysis of cardiac function in nuclear cardiology, ranging from simple programmes for image presentation in cine mode to ..

Apparently there is a cine mode: a mode with motion images

So if 'cinemagrafie' pertains to this form of radionuclide imaging, 'radionuclide imaging in cine mode' might be an option for 'cinemagrafie'

Radionuclide imaging in cine mode showed a normal left ventricle.

Refers to cinematic/cine/cinematographic and mode/view/display/image.
I suppose I just prefer to keep it as non-specific as the Dutch.
Barend van Zadelhoff Aug 27, 2013:
when I come across 'cine' in clinical reports it refers (given the subject is cardiological) always to 'cineangiography'

for example: 'Cine RCA'
I translate this as 'cineangiography RCA'

I still wonder what you mean by 'cine display'

How could you acquire these images without contrast media?

cine - Greek kinein = bewegen
grafie - Greek graphein = afbeelden
cinegrafie = het op film vastleggen van bewegende röntgencontrastbeelden


'cinemato' does not make sense to me

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_(cinematografie)
ebell (asker) Aug 27, 2013:
I think the 'cinema' bit should have been 'cinemato' and just shortened to 'cine'. Since no mention is made of contrast etc, beyond it probably being related to the SPECT that had just been mentioned, I think it might be best to keep the translation general and just put 'cine display'.
Barend van Zadelhoff Aug 27, 2013:
When you say 'cine mode' or 'cine display' then I assume you refer to 'cinefluorography mode/display' or 'cineangiography mode/display?

Or do you mean something else?

It would suggest it is to do with a machine that can operate in several different modes ?

I think cinefluoroscopy is the general term and cineangiography is a somewhat more specific term

Semi-automatic construction and computer analysis of volume curves and pressure-volume curves in left ventricular cineangiography
ebell (asker) Aug 27, 2013:
I wonder if it might also be something like 'cine mode' or 'cine display'.
I don't think it is cineangiography in this case. Cinefluorography might be more likely though as some of the results later on involve curve and phase analysis.

dynamic radionuclide imaging

Dynamic (in cine mode) radionuclide imaging showed a normal left ventricle.

(see also discussion)

In order to provide you with a wider assortment to choose from and stimulate your appetite :-)

Anyway, I am sure you are not going to deliver me from the dilemma in which I see myself and will leave me to my own devices :-)

I do think, depending on the exact details, both options can be useful in your text and I wonder if more options were available.

This means you and several colleagues here, if they were interested and willing to follow my reasoning, could agree with my answers insofar they represent the meaning of what is meant here by 'cinemagrafie', even if this term is incorrect, idiosyncratic, ambiguous, non-standard or whatever.

In order to solve this dilemma, I have decided to put it between quotation marks.

My reasoning:

Suppose this is about radionuclide imaging of cardiac function rather than about conventional cineangiography.

Is this the case?
But let's suppose this is the case.

Then 'cinemagrafie' would be a word that pertains to this technique.

Thank you, ebell, for digging in your heels a bit.
You forced me to reconsider and especially your remark that there might be a relation with SPECT and your reference were very helpful.

In the end, I do think that 'cinemagrafie', although peculiar, is more likely to be used in connection to 'radionuclide imaging' then in connection to 'cineangiography'.
The limited context seems to point in this direction as well.

I have learned a lot.

cinefluorography

I think this must be meant

cinefluorography -The use of a movie camera to obtain fluoroscopic views, especially of the heart and great vessels or gastrointestinal tract, after the administration of a contrast medium.

A biplane cinefluorographic technic for measuring ventricular volume is described and its accuracy and limitations are assessed. Although rather complicated and time-consuming at present, the method permits construction of volume curves and estimation of stroke volume of the left ventricle for several successive contractions in the intact animal or man. This method may prove most useful for physiologic research and ultimately for diagnostic purposes

or just cineangiography - the photographic recording of fluoroscopic images of the blood vessels by motion picture techniques.

Cineangiography of the left ventricle during exercise has been used in an attempt to define the area of ischaemic myocardium in patients suffering from angina pectoris in whom coronary artery surgery was contemplated. A correlation was established between the site of coronary artery obstruction and the area of abnormal myocardial contraction. This method of localization of regional left ventricular ischaemia may furnish useful diagnostic information when coronary reconstructive surgery is contemplated in patients with exercise-induced angina pectoris.
