Secondary finding


Explanation:
I had an MRI scan a couple of years ago that had precisely this abbreviation on it, standing for Nebenbefund.

I'll have a look later and see if it was positioned in a similar position. I have a vague memory it was a short heading followed by a colon.

It was indeed a short heading followed by a colon!
