CTkuvissa

CTkuvissa is a term used in Finnish radiology to refer to findings or observations visible in computed tomography (CT) images. The expression acts as a locale marker, indicating that the described feature is specific to CT data rather than MRI, ultrasound, or other modalities.

Etymology and form: It combines CT, the abbreviation for computed tomography, with kuvissa, the Finnish inessive plural meaning “in the images.” Writers sometimes hyphenate as CT-kuvissa depending on the style guide; both forms are used to denote the same concept.

Usage: In clinical reporting, CTkuvissa situates observations within CT data, for example noting that a lesion is visible in CTkuvissa or that a finding is best appreciated in CT images. In research and data annotation, CTkuvissa labels help distinguish CT-specific features in multi-modality datasets and in AI training sets.

Limitations and context: The term is primarily used in Finnish-language radiology materials and may be translated in English-language texts as “on CT images” or “in CT images.” It is not a separate imaging technique; rather, it is a linguistic marker for referencing CT data within reports and analyses.
