Medical - Medical (general)
French term or phrase: non collecté
This is referring to an image from an MRI scan
une plage fronto-temporale gauche d’hypersignal en T1 de 40 mm de grand axe, non collecté évoquant une encéphalite présuppurative

does it just mean diffuse?

English translation:no collections of pus
Explanation:
I have come across 'une collection' as referring to a collection of pus, or abscess. This would fit the context of an absence of suppuration.

disagree  Sue Davis: Your references refer not to diffuse, but diffusion - Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI or DW-MRI) is an imaging method that uses the diffusion of water molecules to generate contrast in MR images.

agree  liz askew: I would leave out "pus".
20 hrs
  -> Thank you!
disagree  Drmanu49: where does "pus" come in?
4 days
  -> did you look at my references??!! obviously not. collection is not enough on its own, it refers to abnormal collection of material, the nature of which must be defined. In context, pus makes sense. Abscess would also be permissible.
