French term

bilan morphologique

French to English Medical Medical: Health Care Assesment of blood count
This is a heading in a long hospital report about a patient with acute respiratory problems.

The first heading reads: "Bilan biologique du [date]" (which I have called "Findings of blood and urine tests from [date]")

The queried phrase is the title of the next section. For consistency, could I say "morphological findings"? Although I am dubious of using "morphological", surely UK English has another term for this.

This heading In this heading are two bullet points. The first one describes the image through "un angio-scanner thoracique" and the second one describes condition through "Le scanner cervical de contrôle.." (this second scanner type I am about to post as a new question by the way.)
SJLD Jul 31, 2012:
Sounds like "bilan morphologique" here is medical imaging >> anatomical assessment. What else comes under this heading?
We wouldn't use "morphological findings" in this context in English.

RADIOLOGIE ET IMAGERIE MÉDICALE : Cardiovasculaire - Thoracique ... L'exploration biologique doit précéder tout bilan morphologique par imagerie.
Lara Barnett (asker) Jul 31, 2012:
For info Underneath "Bilan morphologique" the paragraph begins "un angio-scanner thoracique a été effectué le [date] et ne montre pas d'embolie pulmonaire".

Radiology and Imaging Tests, Imaging Tests

Bilan biologique = Laboratory tests; Bilan morphologique = Radiology and Imaging Tests or simply Imaging Tests. If you are not very keen on parallelism, you can skip tests and simply say Radiology and Imaging.
