Italiano term

declive

Da Italiano a Inglese Medico/Sanitario Medicina: Strumentazione ultrasound
Does this term in this context mean that the maximum thickness is 25 mm and that the effusion gradually becomes thinner as you move away from the focal point in the basal segment?

Versamento pleurico dx dello spessore massimo attuale in sede basale e declive di circa 25mm.

Again for the child with suspected familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis

slopes

If you look at the illustrations, you can see how the effusions slope in the ultrasound scans. This is not an educated opinion, but just a guess. It sounds to me if the scan shows an effusion of about 25 mm width sloping away from its basal site. An effusion of that size is quite a bit of fluid from what is indicated in the sight at the URL below.
