Medical - Medical: Instruments / prostate needle core biopsy, macroscopy
Danish term or phrase: abbreviation a.i.
Not a lot of context, I am afraid.

The text is the results of biopsies from the prostate.

A number of needle core biopsies were taken, and most were described like this:

Velegnet nålebiopsi fra prostata repræsenterende prostatavæv med bevaret lobulær opbygning. Fremtræder hyperplastisk, men der er ingen tegn på malignitet og heller ikke pågående inflammation.
...
Der er foretaget supplerende immunhistokemisk farvning for PIN, som viser manglende omgivende basalcellelag, hvorfor der er tale om et minimalt ca. 1 mm stort focus med højt differentieret primært adenokarcinom.

PIN = prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia

In the next section, under Makroskopi, the numbers vary, but the results are:

[01] 13 mm, a.i.
[02] 5 mm a.i.
...
...

[09] 12 mm a.i.
[10] 9 mm a.i. hh/cm

Thanks for any suggestions!

Asker: Thanks! It was interesting, but I am not entirely sure it fits in my context. As the abbreviation would be the same, I left it as it was. The text uses a mixture of Danish and English abbreviations, so it could be either. Jantzen and other sources did not find anything in Danish. But thank you again.
