English - Chinese Glossary: 75 Key Terms in Liver Cancer Imaging

Here is a sampling of Chinese and English terms from my work translating Chinese LI-RADS liver imaging research and statistical analyses to English.

Note that the Chinese terms take up less space than the English terms. The Chinese language is very concise!

Medical terms are constantly changing, so it’s important to verify with a trusted source.

Please note: This glossary is a representative sample of Chinese terms I have encountered in my work. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list. In medical translation, terminology choices depend on context, document type, intended audience, and how the translated material will be used.

If you have a Chinese medical article, research document, imaging report, or pharmacovigilance literature that needs to be translated into English, you can learn more about my services or request a quote. Or contact me for any other questions about Chinese to English medical translation. I’m here to help!
