"Semiquantitative" ventilation analysis

[JREDLINE]

One of our rads has started using the phrase "semiquantitative" ventilation analysis for the vent scans. Are we thinking too much? Can we ignore the "semi?"

Following ministration of aerosolized radiopharmaceutical, lung ventilation imaging was performed in multiple obliquities. These were followed by SPECT imaging using iterative reconstruction algorithms and reformatting in orthogonal planes. Semiquantitative ventilation analysis was performed using the geometric mean.

Thanks!
