sans zone de distension

French to English Medical Medical (general) Abdominal x-ray
HI all--

I am translating a medical report on an elderly patient upon an abdominal x-ray was performed.

I am not sure how to translate this phrase, especially within the context below:
sans zone de distension

Here is the context:

Radiographie de l'abdomen à blanc:
Petits niveaux en projection colique témoignant d'un faible encombrement liquidien. Matières en projection recto-sigmoïdienne sans zone de distension. Scoliose dégénérative lombaire dextro-convexe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
