The phrase "attenuating area" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to physics, engineering, or any field discussing the reduction of intensity or effect in a specific region.
Example: "The attenuating area of the sound barrier significantly reduces noise pollution in the surrounding environment."
Alternatives: "diminishing zone" or "reducing region".
A heterogeneous pattern of the metastases was defined as the presence of variously attenuating areas in a single lesion, suggestive of necrosis, either before and/or after contrast medium enhancement (arterial and/or portal phase).
After 4 months a CT showed some regression in tumor size but clearly less solid component and low attenuating areas, indicating necrosis (Fig. 1c).
Second, while our study demonstrates that automated ILA classification methods (based on global increases in regions of high attenuating areas) alone may have limitations, our study does not exclude the possibility that alternate automated ILA detection methods (including those involving lung segmentation and texture analysis) [ 31] could have improved classification performance.
Histomorphometric analysis of sirius red stained heart sections confirmed that the treatment helped to attenuate scar area formation.
These results indicate that exercise may reduce cIMT/atherosclerosis development in vascular areas with no or early stages of atherosclerotic disease, whereas the anti-atherosclerotic effects of exercise is attenuated in areas with advanced atherosclerotic lesions.
It is sometimes difficult to differentiate cystic bronchiectasis from central low attenuated necrotic areas of the parenchymal type (Fig. 7).
Some functions of Photoshop and CorelDraw software (Corel Corp., Ottawa, Canada) were applied to attenuate the areas of shade, to equalize the luminosity and color within the images, and to accentuate the visibility of the contours where necessary.
All three indicators of traffic exposure showed that less educated subjects were less exposed to traffic than more educated residents; these associations were attenuated when area-based SEP was taken into account.
Other complications are pseudoaneurysms, especially close to the entrance site, hematomas near the femoral incision, demonstrated by a high-attenuating area (Fig. 15c), infections and lymphoceles [21].
As the aim of RFA is to produce a volume of coagulative necrosis larger than the native nodule, CT performed in the first month after the procedure should demonstrate a hyper-attenuating area larger than the treated nodule.
