Romanian term (edited):
(diametru) prehepatic
Selected
liver span
Cred ca asa se traduce. Este vorba despre estimarea diametrului ficatului prin percutie/palpare.
"Measure the liver span by percussing hepatic dullness from above (lung) and below (bowel). A normal liver span is 6 to 12 cm in the midclavicular line."

By percussion, the mean liver size is 7 cm for women and 10.5 cm for men (Table 94.1). A liver span 2 to 3 cm larger or smaller than these values is considered abnormal.

: Repeated studies have shown that percussion of the liver is superior to the palpatory measurement of liver span below the right costal margin in the estimation of hepatic enlargement.

Am gasit si aici cateva explicatii:
Scoala anglofona (curentul nou in medicina) apreciaza (mai exact, dupa parerea mea) 'diametrul prehepatic': se percuta aria de matitate hepatica (diferenta de sonorizare la 'ciocanitul' cu un deget peste cutia toracica deasupra ficatului), datorata interpunerii ficatului (organ solid) intre diafragm/plamani (deasupra) si colon (sub ficat) (organe 'aerice').
