GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / imaging reports
Spanish term or phrase: DIU
This abbreviation comes at the end of couple of medical reports, one is a summary of a clinic visit, the other is an ultrasound report (please excuse lack of accented letters!)

Context:

"Ecografia abdominal
...
...
Pancreas, ambos rinones y bazo de caracteristicas dentro de limites normales.
No evidencia de liquido libre abdominal.
DIU
CONCLUSION:
Lesiones focales hepaticas sugestivas de afectacion secundaria..."

I guess maybe diagnostico...plus something else...? impression, or maybe imagen. I'm just guessing here! It's not the reporter's initials. Any suggestions much appreciated.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Do you know, I was completely ignoring this abbreviation (the only one I know for DIU) because in my brain this is a report on cancer, and "nothing to do with contraception" but, or course, it is an ABDOMINAL ultrasound! Oh dear maybe it was that simple after all!

agree  philgoddard: Yes, it has to be this. It's such a common abbreviation, I don't think they'd use it to mean anything else.

Explanation:
Intrauterine Device (IUD)

Tambien es posible que lo encuentres como Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD) or (ICD).

En Argentina, coloquialmente es "el diu"; mi Ob-Gyn en Nebraska se referia a "coil".
