Hello!

I need help with the translation of "Minderbelegung".

The sentence is:

In der Ruheuntersuchung homogene Tracedistribution, ohne sichere regionäre Minderbelegungen.

Thank you!

English translation:decreased uptake
Explanation:
Normal myocardial perfusion rest images have uniform uptake throughout the left ventricular myocardium (Fig. 16-9). On short-axis SPECT views, the left ventricle has a doughnut appearance. The lateral wall usually has more uptake than the anterior or inferior wall. ***Decreased uptake*** is seen near the base of the heart in the region of the membranous septum.

areas of diminished tracer uptake indicated decreased blow flow ( myocardial damage)
