CT scan
This is from a CT scan of a patient with intracranial bleeding:
"In corrispondenza dell'emisfero cerebellare di destra si documenta iperdensità ematica di forma ovalare."
I get that this hyperdensity is due to the hemorrhage and blood in this area of the cerebellum; I just can't find a good way to say it. There are almost no instances of "hematic hyperdensity" online, so I don't think I can use this.
What's the standard way of expressing this in a CT context?
An oval-shaped area of _____ hyperdensity...?
An oval-shaped hyperdense area of _________?
Thanks again for your help.

hyperdense area of hemorragic nature (origin)
I would understand the description in the context (radiology report).
The radiologist is describing a CT finding and she/he uses the neuroradiology terminology based on the density: hyperdense (bright image), isodense or hypodense (dark image).
https://sites.google.com/a/wisc.edu/neuroradiology/image-acq...
So, in my opinion the term "iperdensità" is referred to the image, whereas the adjective "ematica" is an interpretation to help the clinician to understand the nature of the abnormality that appears hyperdense on the image itself.

hyperdense blood
Disclaimer: I do not do medical.
However: see https://www.researchgate.net/figure/304610889_fig1_Figure-1-...
or do a search for "hyperdense blood" + "CT".

Perhaps "hyperdense blood collection" would fit better.
