DIU

Medical (general)
imaging reports
This abbreviation comes at the end of couple of medical reports, one is a summary of a clinic visit, the other is an ultrasound report (please excuse lack of accented letters!)
Context:
"Ecografia abdominal
...
...
Pancreas, ambos rinones y bazo de caracteristicas dentro de limites normales.
No evidencia de liquido libre abdominal.
DIU
CONCLUSION:
Lesiones focales hepaticas sugestivas de afectacion secundaria..."
I guess maybe diagnostico...plus something else...? impression, or maybe imagen. I'm just guessing here! It's not the reporter's initials. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Note from asker:
| Do you know, I was completely ignoring this abbreviation (the only one I know for DIU) because in my brain this is a report on cancer, and "nothing to do with contraception" but, or course, it is an ABDOMINAL ultrasound! Oh dear maybe it was that simple after all! |

: Yes, it has to be this. It's such a common abbreviation, I don't think they'd use it to mean anything else.

: when someone has already posted the same answer, what you should do is simply Agree with theirs; as Juan Jacob says: why repeat the same response? It doesn't help the asker.
