title: [Glossary of Terms for Thoracic Imaging--German Version of the Fleischner Society Recommendations].
abstract: The Fleischner Society has published several recommendations for terms for thoracic imaging. The most recent glossary was released in 2008. One glossary in German language was published in 1996. This review provides an updated German glossary of terms for thoracic imaging. It closely adheres to the Fleischner Society terminology. In some instances adaptions to the usage of German language were necessary, as well as some additions of terms which were later defined or redefined. These deviations are summarized in a revision report.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The Fleischner Society has published a revised version of her glossary of terms for thoracic imaging in 2008. This paper presents a German adaption of this glossary. Some terms not contained in the original version have been added. The general use of the presented terminology in radiological reports is recommended.
