Spanish term or phrase: señal de vacío de flujo
Les agradeceré ayuda para traducir un informe de MRI. Es sobre un aneurisma gigante de la coronaria derecha. Encontré "black-blood image" pero no estoy segura:

Con el objetivo de lograr una mejor aproximación diagnóstica se realizó una resonancia nuclear magnética que mostró en región mediastinal media y anterior, una voluminosa formación con señal hipointensa en ponderación T1 con contornos de señal levemente hiperintensa a la lesión en T1 y T2 de probable origen cálcico, que no presenta **señal de vacio de flujo** y que presenta íntimo contacto con la AD.

Muchas gracias.

loss of streamline flow


Explanation:
...Los tiempos de relajación T1 de la sangre aumentan al subir la potencia del campo magnético, con esta potencia de campo, incluso, los hematíes empacados tienen un T1 más largo que la sustancia blanca, lo que produce un aspecto hipointenso…

(En RM, el tiempo de relajación longitudinal se llama T1 y depende de la relación entre el protón y el medio que lo rodea -existen medios de distinta estructura molecular, viscosidad, etc.- El tiempo de relajación transversa se llama T2 y depende de la relación entre el protón y los protones vecinos.)

Angioresonancia: (Tiempo de vuelo, inyección de contraste y contraste de fase). En un estudio de resonancia magnética convencional, la sangre NO da señal, a esto se le llama vacío de flujo…

MAGNETIC RESONANCE ANGIOGRAPHY (MRA)
MRA images optimally display areas of constant flow velocity, but there are many situations where the flow within a voxel has non-uniform speed or direction. The diagram opposite illustrates the streamlines of flow in the normal carotid bifurcation showing regions of reversed and crossed flow. In a diseased vessel these patterns are even more complex. Similar loss of streamline flow occurs at all vessel junctions and stenoses, and in regions of mural thrombosis. It results in a loss of signal, due to the loss of phase coherence between spins in the voxel. This effect must be considered when interpreting images or selecting technique. This signal loss, usually only noticeable distal to a stenosis, used to be an obvious characteristic of MRA images. It is now minimized by using small voxels and the shortest possible TE. Signal loss from disorganized flow is most noticeable in TOF imaging but also affects the PCA images...

loss of fluid signal


Explanation:
http://www.rard.org.ar/numeros/2007_2/14vacio_flujo.pdf
El “signo del vacío de flujo” del LCR consiste en la
pérdida de señal, o hipointensidad, de las imágenes
potenciadas en T2 que se produce en la porción posterior
del tercer ventrículo de pacientes con hidrocefalia
normotensiva. Estas pérdidas de señal son más evidentes
en la proximidad al acueducto de Silvio ya que
la velocidad del LCR durante la sístole y diástole pulsátil
aumenta al reducirse la sección transversal del
conducto (2,3). La extensión de la pérdida de señal
desde el acueducto, tanto en sentido craneal hacia el
tercer ventrículo como caudal hacia el cuarto, es proporcional
a la velocidad del LCR en el plano de la
adquisición. Su extensión representa, pues, una medida
indirecta de la magnitud de la velocidad (Fig. 1).

Rita, it seems that "signal" may be better than sign.

Flow void signal seems right.
