French term

intègre

French to English Medical Medical (general)
From a PET/CT scan. Does it just mean "thyroid normal"?

"Dans la région sus-claviculaire droite, discret infiltrat tissulaire millimétrique résiduel sans ganglion mesurable avec SUVmax 1,8, donc sans hypermétabolisme significatif. Thyroïde intègre. Apparition d'un épaississement muqueux en cadre du sinus maxillaire droit, faiblement métabolique, et d'un épaississement muqueux du fond du sinus maxillaire gauche, d'allure inflammatoire / infectieuse."

normal

I haven't found any French dictionary support for this, so perhaps it's an unusual choice of word. But one meaning of 'integrity' in English is 'soundness' or 'unimpaired condition':

unremarkable

The usual term to indicate absence of pathology in medicine, especially in ROS, is 'unremarkable'.

"Thyroid unremarkable."
