This appears several times in this medical report for a patient undergoing an angioplasty. Am unsure if it means treatment unit?
1041 - Angioplastie coronarienne
1041 - Angioplastie coronarienne

I am NOT a medical specialist, but note that the symbol for tesla is indeed a capital 'T', and in very many technical fields a 'U' (or 'u') is indeed used for 'micro' (µ), as that character isn't available on all keyboards and/or writing it my hand could be misread for say 'm' or 'w'.
And 90 µT seems to be within the ball-park of magnetic field strengths used (at the high end).
1041 - Angioplastie coronarienne <=2 segm. + coronarographie x 1 (90 UT)
I'm wondering if it should be μT - microtesla.
