Danish term

røntgenoversigt over abdomen (OOA)

Danish to English Medical Medical (general) Radiology
This phrase occurs in a hospital chart:

En røntgenoversigt over abdomen (OOA) viser svær ventrikelretention, dilaterede tuyndtarmsslynger samt store mængder fæces i colon.

I was wondering what the English equivalent of "røntgenoversigt over abdomen (OOA)" is. Also, is there an acronym that English-speaking professionals would use?

Thank you.

Discussion

I don't know how to relate to Sven's answer, in that is it very similar to my own. He did add a word to the start of the answer, and it is far better referenced, but still. I guess it is because I am new to Proz. Can someone give me a clarification of where the lines are drawn here?
