The Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology is the society's official scientific journal. Readers know that each issue is filled with high caliber reporting that delivers the most timely medical, minimally-invasive, radiological, pathological and socioeconomic news related to the specialty.
I live in the United States, and I was wondering if medical personnel in other countries use the same shorthand symbols that we do. As examples: lower case c with a line over it means with; lower case s with a line over it means without, a triangle (chevron symbol) means change, etc.
A single triangle next to a condition simply means 'diagnosis of' Two triangles is a 'differential diagnosis' ie. one of several possible diagnoses being investigated.
