Spanish term

trayecto y recorrido de las arterias

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Carotid doppler scan
This is from a report of carotid doppler scan results:

"El trayecto y recorrido de las arterias carótida común, carótida interna y externa es normal bilateralmente."

My main uncertainty is about the word "trayecto". Is it correct to just translate this as "trajectory" in English ... is this common usage? I find almost no google hits for "trajectory of the artery" or "trajectory of the (+ the name of any artery)".

I also don't understand what they're referring to when they say "trayecto". I would use "course" for "recorrido", but just don't know what to do with this "trayecto".

Thanks for your input and suggestions.
Proposed translations (English)
5 the course and/or path of the arteries
4 inflow and outflow from the arteries

If a distinction is intended, I would expect something like the course and the lumen (or contours on the ultrasound image) is normal; that is, there is neither malformation nor obstruction of the artery. However, I don't know enough Spanish to tell whether "trayecto" and "recorrido" might fit with this (or whether it's simply the poetic license).

One more comment too These doppler studies/ultrasounds check for (among other things)
1) narrowing of the carotid arteries
2) flow (possible blockages such as clots)
3) Possible congenital malformations/anomalities. I think the text in question may refers to this and the other portion you posted later "flujo por arterias, etc. refers to flow (two separate things)
Ronaldo Bassini Jul 1, 2013:
One more comment: trayecto can also refer to the distance covered throughout the path.
Ronaldo Bassini Jul 1, 2013:
I agree with Lorena.... somebody claimed a bit of poetic license here. I don't think it would make a difference to leave one out, but if you want to remain as true as possible to the original my comment above may help.
lorenab23 Jul 1, 2013:
I think that here Trayecto y recorrido is redundant. The trayecto of the arteries (where they start and where they go to) is known as course, please see here:
Trayecto
Emerge de la bifurcación carotídea (carótida comun) en el borde superior del cartílago tiroides (etc.)
http://www.esacademic.com/dic.nsf/eswiki/109578

Course
The external carotid artery begins at the level of the upper border of thyroid cartilage
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_carotid_artery

The external carotid artery begins opposite the upper border of the thyroid cartilage, and, taking a slightly curved course

"direction/heading" Hi Ronaldo,

I think you may have something there. I don't know enough about these carotid doppler studies to be sure. However, this report also mentions the direction of the flow of the circulation: "flujo por arterias vertebrales conservado en sentido cefálico". Maybe they're also talking about this flow direction in these carotid arteries. I hope somebody with more medical knowledge will show up and comment on this.
Ronaldo Bassini Jul 1, 2013:
No, I would not use "trajectory" for "trayecto" as it is used in this text. It sounds more like, "the direction", as opposed to a mathematical trajectory or curve, as that of a launched object or something like that, although I can't think of a solid argument supporting this distinction...

What I don't understand is the use of both words, as they are almost synonymous. But, if you must use both, here's a suggestion:

"trayecto" is "the direction/the heading", and

"recorrido"is "the route/path"

If it sounds reasonable, I'll post as an answer... hope it helps.f

BTW
I think trayecto y recorrido is slight overkill

one noun would do in English
