Spanish term or phrase: ...en la periferia del segmento...
Buenas tardes, estoy traduciendo los resultados de una ecografía abdominal y en la descripción me aparece esta oración: "Nódulo hipodenso avascular de 11.4 mm en la periferia del segmento VII hepático concordante con quiste o granuloma calcificado en este mismo segmento".

Mi duda es donde habla de la periferia del segmento....

Cualquier ayuda es bienvenida.

Gracias! :)

...en la periferia del segmento VII hepático...
...on the periphery of liver segment VII...


Explanation:
Periphery is a suitable translation of "periferia", IMO.
There are various ways of expressing "segmento VII hepático" > "liver segment VII", "segment VII of the liver" or "hepatic segment VII". Many sources also use Arabic numerals, but the Roman numerals come from the Couinaud classification.

The Couinaud classification of liver anatomy divides the liver into eight functionally indepedent segments.
Each segment has its own vascular inflow, outflow and biliary drainage.
In the centre of each segment there is a branch of the portal vein, hepatic artery and bile duct.
In the periphery of each segment there is vascular outflow through the hepatic veins.

The Couinaud classification divides the liver into 8 functional segments. The hepatic veins are found at the periphery of each segment, whereas the center has branches of the portal veins, hepatic arteries, and bile ducts.

A breath-hold triple-echo gradient-echo sequence with a low flip angle and correction for T2* decay is accurate for quantifying fat in segment VII of the liver.

...in the surroundings of hepatic segment VII


Explanation:
por la localización de este segmento, puede -aunque no sólo ahí- que el nódulo (hipodenso avascular) se visualice en la zona del diafragma

I do work as a Nurse and know what I am talking about. When we say "en la periferia" we do not mean "on the surface" as Muriel states in her explanation. Due to the segment characteristics -and I know what I am talking about, it is not on the segment surface. The most common area in those cases the diaphragm.

disagree  Muriel Vasconcellos: Not 'the surroundings of' - that would be for a geographic neighborhood. Also, it's on the periphery, not outside it.

  -> Después de ver mi respuesta es fácil dar la tuya, cuatro horas después. "En la periferia" means "outside", not " inside the segment" as you state in the comment to my response.
