Imaging
Dear all,
I'm translating an imaging report (white cell scan) and I'm not totally sure which is the most suitable translation of the term "appearances" in the following context:
"Given the appearances on the plain film examination and on the XXX scan, the appearances are highly suggestive of [...]"
The target audience is a hospital department in Spain.
I've done quite a bit of research already and have contemplated many options, so I'd be grateful if only those with knowledge of the subject could reply.
Many thanks in advance.

Comment: "Al final me he decantado por "imágenes". Creo que es exactamente a lo que se refiere "appearances" en este contexto. Lo he comentado con un médico y me lo ha confirmado. Muchas gracias, Rosa, y a todos los demás por sus aportaciones. ¡Saludos!"

hallazgos
It looks like they are referring to something found/seen in the X rays and scan (CT perhaps).

Carolina Alberca
: I think this is the most suitable word in this case.
"Dados los hallazgos en..." or "Teniendo en cuenta los hallazgos en..."

: Muchos médicos abusan hasta el hartazgo de la voz "hallazgos" x trad. lit. de "findings". Me parece pertinente hablar de hallazgos quirúrgicos, pero en otros casos es preferible usar otra palabra: resultados, datos, observaciones, síntomas o signos...
