Subject: pseudodisc bulge?
I transcribe for radiologists in two states, and lately some of them are dictating "pseudodisc bulge." I wouldn't think it would be a pseudodisc, but rather, a pseudobulge of disc. I've googled both terms, and don't get many hits for either. What should they be saying? Is this one of those doctor coined phrases?
