German term

MI G Konsil.

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care Doctor's report on thyroid ultrasound
This term appears at the top of the form, under the hospital letterhead.

The line in full reads: "MI G Konsil.-u.andere Dienste"
followed by the patient's name, date of birth, etc.

The main sticking point for me is deciphering those three letters, "MI G". I think they stand for the type of specialist consulting on the findings. It's a report on a thyroid ultrasound.

strange I found something strange today. The European Neuroscience Institute Göttingen is abbreviated as (ENI-G). Maybe MI G stands not for Gynäkologie in German because they call all these institutions "Frauenklinik" (Spezialklinik für Gynäkologie und Geburtshilfe also) but for M for Medical and I for Institute, G for a name of another city? I am just asking, not excluding anything. Please do not throw stones :( Did you found any other medical institution "MI für Gynäkologie" in München?
Erzsébet Czopyk Dec 12, 2015:
please post any additional context here in the discussion field to make it easy available for anyone who would like to contribute to your question; thank you. So this abbreviation appears on the top of your form (Schlussbericht), issued by the LMU?

minimalinvasive Gynäkologie (minimally invasive gynecology/ consultation)))

This could be it. I don't know the patient's complaints, but I reckon that she is a GYN patient who was sent for a thyroid ultrasound.

But more context would help. I am quite sure that MI stands for minimally invasive, but G could be GYN of Gastro or...

Note from asker:
Thank you for your response. Here's more context: "Anamnese: Latente Hypothreose, MS" Then the report describes the ultrasound conducted on the neck. The final page of the report has the following assessment ("Zusammenfassende Beurteilung"): Schilddrüse: Gesteigerte Binnenvascularisation der normalen Schilddrüse normale Echogenität (keine Echoarmut); keine fokalen Läsionen abgrenzbar. Hals-Lymphknoten: DD, am ehesten reaktive LK. Given this context, I don't know if G stands for gynecology.

Mukoviszidose Institut – gemeinnützige Gesellschaft für Forschung und Therapieentwicklung mbH (MI)

Die Mukoviszidose Institut – gemeinnützige Gesellschaft für Forschung und Therapieentwicklung mbH (MI) ist eine hundertprozentige Tochter des Mukoviszidose e.V., Bonn. Das MI wurde aufgebaut, um relevante Forschungsprojekte im Bereich der Mukoviszidose zu fördern und die Ergebnisse aus dieser Forschung den Mukoviszidose-Betroffenen zugänglich zu machen. Dabei meint Förderung nicht nur die Bereitstellung finanzieller Mittel für ein Forschungsprojekt, sondern genauso die gezielte Vermittlung von wissenschaftlichen Dienstleistungen zur Planung, Durchführung und Auswertung von (klinischen) Projekten. Diese sollen den Forscher dabei unterstützen, seine innovative Projektidee hochwertig umzusetzen. Das MI möchte Brücken bauen für die CF-Therapie (Prävention, Diagnostik, Therapie) von morgen! Deshalb sind die Identifizierung neuer Forschergruppen, das Aufspüren neuer Ideen sowie die Zusammenführung von Kooperationspartnern zentrale Aufgabe des MI.

I found some articles when the patient is supected to mucoviscidosis (which is the another name for cystic fibrosis (CF), the thyroids shall be examined.

Zusammenfassende Beurteilung: Schilddrüse: Gesteigerte Binnenvascularisation der normalen Schilddrüse normale Echogenität (keine Echoarmut); keine fokalen Läsionen abgrenzbar. Hals-Lymphknoten: DD, am ehesten reaktive LK.

Summary assessment:

Thyroid: increased Binnen (internal?) vascularisation of the normal thyroid, normal echogenicity (no echo poverty); no focal lesions are visualized. Neck lymph nodes: DD, most likely reactive lymphatic nodes.

Echogenicity is the ability to bounce an echo, e.g. return the signal in ultrasound examinations. Echogenicity is higher when the surface bouncing the sound echo reflects increased sound waves. Tissues that have higher echogenicity are called hyperechogenic, with lower echogenicity are called hypoechogenic, and lack of echogenicity are called anechogenic.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Lirka : anything in relation to mucoviscidosis in utterly unlikely, IMHO
2 hrs
I would not say. I translated 2 yrs ago such document but as the patient is 26 years old I pray that she had not that diagnose. My favorite med. field is gynecology but I did not felt obliged to put any comment for you until further information (IMO)
disagree Sabine Akabayov, PhD : I think this is highly unlikely. Did you translate the "Zusammenfassende Beurteilung" yourself? "echo poverty" is definitely not the right term.

Of course not! Sorry. I am typing very slowly. Due to lack of time I used machine-aided translation and unintentionally left the machine-aided text part in the answer.
