Spanish term

con dos cajas

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care Radiology
Here´s the sentence:

Angio-TC: tomografía computarizada multicorte Toshiba Aquilion de 64 detectores; estudio helicoidal con dos cajas y embolada única de contraste a dosis 0,2 ml/kg

This is a study/paper about spontaneous coronary artery dissection and in this section they are talking about the imaging techniques used. I´m not sure how to translate "caja" in this setting.

Thanks,

Jane

Dr Jane Marshall (asker) Mar 14, 2015:
I don’t think they are referring to box plots in this situation, they are describing the machine they used to do the CT angio, so I don’t think box plots would make sense, and I don’t think they´re talking about the small boxes of tissue either, there would (presumably) be a lot more than two of them. Unfortunately I can’t get the full article of the second reference article that Muriel has posted. I spoke to a radiologist friend of mine, who gave me the following explanantion: "because of the high spatial resolution of cardiac CT, the heart has to be imaged in 2 or 3 blocks and then sandwiched together to make the whole image. This does mean that you can get something called step artefact if the blocks don't quite line up properly. So the less blocks (or boxes) the better. Some scanners can now image the heart in one block but they're V new and V expensive!! " So I think the answer may be "block" but even that is very hard to find references to online!

I think it refers to the plotting. I found more examples when I searched for 'box plot":
