I'm having trouble with a report with some radiology terms. My question is: Is the word I am typing "hyper-avid" an actual term that makes sense in this sentence? Here's the sentence:
She had subsequently had a PET scan which revealed retroperitoneal as well as mediastinal lymphadenopathy which is all hyper-avid.
If the word is correct, is there a need for a hyphen? Should it be all one word, or just two separate words?
What I need is a good online source for radiology terminology, but I haven't been able to find one. Best thing I've located is Stedman's Radiology Words, but it's almost $100 and I just can't afford that right now. If anyone is aware of online help with these terms, please let me know... And THANKS in advance!
