Medical - Medical (general)
Norwegian term or phrase: probenær
The following sentence is used in an epicrisis note in connection with intima-media tykkelse: "IMT fortykkelser, mest i venstre BIF probenær og probefjern, men også i distale høyre CCA probenær."

I can't find any use of "probenær" or "probefjern" in medical literature. Any ideas??

anteriorly or near wall
Explanation:
As someone who perform this types of scan as part of the "day job", we would normally describe it as anterior wall (closer to the probe) and posterior wall (farther away from the probe). (Though to be pedantic, as the scan approach is slightly oblique, the closer wall is anterio-lateral and the farther away wall is posterio-medial.) It is also possible to describe it as the near and far wall.

Hi, the near and far wall refers to the walls of the vessel (CCA is common carotid artery, and BIF is bifurcation), in relation to whether they are near or far away from the probe. So "CCA probenær" is "anterior wall of CCA" or "the near wall of CCA". I would take the word probe completely out of the sentence in order to make it read correctly.

Asker: Hi Leif. Many thanks for your suggestion. I think you are right, but I wonder if there is a more technical way of putting it. It has to do with how close the ultrasound is to the wall of the artery apparently.

Asker: Hi Connie. Many thanks for your input, most helpful. I ended up using near and far wall probes. The way that the terms were used in the Norwegian text didn't seem to make a complete sentence but I got there in the end.
