In plain language
Something that was visible on an earlier scan can no longer be seen. Radiologists use it for things that were expected to go away — an infection, a collection of fluid, a bruise.
Where you’ll see this
Follow-up impressions.
Your report may word it “Resolution”, “Near-complete resolution” or “Interval resolution”. These mean the same thing.
Questions worth asking your doctor
- Compared with my last scan, is this better, worse, or the same?
- How much change would matter enough to do something about it?
- When should the next scan be, and what would you be looking for?
