Medical - Medical (general) / Radiology
German term or phrase: Abdomen leer
From an Austrian medical report. Patient has faecal impaction with severe abdominal pain, suspected ileus. Recommended treatment includes ultrasound and X-ray of abdomen. Does 'leer' in this case mean 'fasting'? The poor chap's abdomen is hardly going to be 'empty' in his condition!

'weitere Abklärung mit Laborabnahme, Sono-Abdomen, Röntgen-Abdomen leer, sowie chirurgischer Vorstellung.'

agree  Lirka: that's the right idea, only it's called "plain" which indicates 'no contrast'.

Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
neutral  SJLD: strictly speaking, in radiology, the distance from the X ray source is less in a renal x ray than in a plain abdo - granted though the terms are used interchangeably - it would be better if they weren't!
2 hrs
  -> but KUB is not a renal X-ray; the name is misleading
