German term

über...bis...reichend

German to English Medical Medical (general) Wilson disease and ALL
Hello! I am trying to find a way to say "über das Mesencephalon bis in die Pons reichendes hyperintenses Signal" but I am not sure if what I am saying is anatomically correct in the context of the entire sentence:
Context: " ...ein symmetrisch im Thalamus beidseits über das Mesencephalon bis in die Pons reichendes, hyperintenses Signal, das auch in den protongewichteten Sequenzen nachweisbar war."
My thoughts: "a symmetrical, bilateral, hyperintense signal in the thalamus extending over the midbrain into the pons."
Is it really extending OVER the midbrain and INTO the pons? How can it be in the thalamus then?
Thanks for your help!

@Rosa I doubt it, because there is only one pons in the CNS. So, there cannot be a plural in this context...
Rosa Paredes Oct 4, 2011:
@uyuni I think it is *die*; the structure calls for akkusative (plural *die*)
uyuni Oct 4, 2011:
Elisabeth, I do think the translation you already suggested matches the context given.

P.S.: Please inform your client or the author of the finding that in German it is *der* Pons (m) not *die* Pons (f)...;-)

thanks! Thank you so much for the image. It really is worth a thousand words! I was looking at images of the brain taken from the side and it didn't make sense to me.
Elizabeth Kelly Oct 4, 2011:
My understanding would be that the signal begins in the thalamus and extends over the midbrain trrough to the pons. This image could be quite helpful: http://www.google.ie/imgres?q=pons, thalamus, midbrain anato...

How is this: "...passing...into the pons...via the midbrain..."

I think the movement of the signal is expressed more vividly by 'passing:' ' a hyperintense signal in the thalamus passing symmetrically on both sides into the pons via the midbrain...'
Something went wrong...
