blunting of the costophrenic angle / costophrenic angle blunting
MJ,
Aquí el significado es que el seno (ángulo) costofrénico derecho está parcialmente borrado y por lo tanto reducido, de ahí lo de "pinzamiento", como si alguien le hubiera puesto un "clip" o alfiler al seno para disminuir su tamaño.
En inglés, para indicar la reducción del seno costofrénico, se usa el término blunting.
The authors developed a computerized method for delineating the costophrenic angles in digital posteroanterior chest radiographs to derive quantitative information that allows for detection of abnormal **blunting of the costophrenic angle**.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: An automated lung-segmentation scheme was used, and small regions of interest were placed in the approximate position of the costophrenic angles in 600 clinical posteroanterior chest radiographs to define a subimage for further analysis. The diaphragmatic aspect of the costophrenic angle was delineated based on column-wise contrast information, and the costal aspect was delineated based on row-wise gray-level maxima. The angle formed by the convergence of these two aspects provided the basis for assessing abnormality. Curve fitting was then performed on these segments to form a continuous costophrenic angle delineation. RESULTS: The computer-determined angles for 1,166 hemithoraces were compared with independent diagnostic assessments by a radiologist. An encouraging level of agreement was found between these two measurements, with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve attaining a value of 0.83.
CONCLUSION: This delineation method enhances the automated lung-segmentation scheme. Quantitative information obtained from the costophrenic angles can be used for automatic evaluation of the presence of **costophrenic angle blunting**, which may indicate the presence of pleural effusion.

Comment: "Thanks very much. I had come across obliteration of the costophrenic angle for 'borramiento' del ángulo costofrénico, but not this one. "

though not sure about which would be best.
try searching about the pathology/treatment/disease your're translationg about.
hope it helps,
