A lot of times radiologists will say interpretation is more difficult because of underpenetration but "interpretation is less" wouldn't make sense.
Another thought - if it's a chest film, could it be inspiration is less? As in, patient didn't breathe deeply?

she was looking for the plural form of decubitus, saying she got stumped by it. I responded very simply to that. I did not feel I needed to correct her use of "pleural" as was not her question and just quickly wanted to help her, and checked my medical references to do so. I pointed out that there are no plural form for decubitus. This is all correct. What is your problem.
