abbreviation
Hello all, I am not sure what this French abbreviation means in a medical context. It's on a short ultrasound report. Underneath the name of the test it says "Poids MC TA FC Tabac...". There are no values given after any of these.
I wondered if it might be "masse corporelle" though I thought that was usually with "indice".
