Dutch term

OL

Dutch to English Medical Medical (general)
'Linker OL'
'Duplex OL, RX linker enkel'

this is a medical exam report regarding a patient with swelling and redness on her left leg.
I guess OL refers to some type of examination but I can't find the meaning.

thank you for your help.

Barend van Zadelhoff Jun 12, 2015:
@Grite I don't think you would ever order a duplex ultrasound for the 'lower part of the body' ('onderlichaam', which is more than just the lower limbs, it's everything below the waist).

Apart from that, why would you perform a duplex ultrasound of the right leg while there is only a problem with the left leg (swelling and redness on her left leg)?
Highly unlikely.

These are the kind of orders you will come across in relation to duplex ultrasound:

Lower-extremity venous duplex ultrasound (VDUS)

What about, if at all relevant:

'lower-body venous duplex ultrasound'?

Does not make sense to me.
Does it make sense to you?

left lower leg

OL --> onderbeen links

Ik denk 'onderbeen links'

duplex OL -> duplex linker onderbeen

Je vindt LO voor linker onderbeen

Linker OL is merkwaardig want dan krijg je 'linker onderbeen links' :-)

Duplex-onderzoek van het linker onderbeen van patiënt A. (a) Vóór de operatie, met een sacculair aneurysma van de V. poplitea zonder trombus. (b) Ná de operatie: een doorgankelijke V. poplitea zonder trombose.
