| lung window | CT settings of window level and width appropriate to showing lung detail; soft tissues are white or nearly so. Mediastinal window, CT settings of window level and width appropriate to showing soft tissue structures; the lungs become black at these settings. Synonym: soft tissue window. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: vena hemiazygos accessoria, vena azygos minor superior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| accessory saphenous vein | <anatomy, vein> An occasional vein running in the thigh parallel to the great saphenous vein which it joins just before the latter empties into the femoral vein. Synonym: vena saphena accessoria. (05 Mar 2000) |
