Letter as printed The letter as printed was definitely a capital I. My client couldn't reach his end client to check, and I'd wondered if it was a misprint. Difficult one.

agree Sven Petersson : Skyped a friendly oncologist on the other side of the globe and asked him to have a look at this page. His verdict was: "95% chance that it's 'lumbosacral column.'"

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, Vedis (and everyone). Misprint originally - I haven't heard anything since - but this answer seems to be the most suitable as I've seen the term all over the place, so I feel comfortable putting it into the glossary."

Group of five fused vertebrae located just below the lumbar vertebrae of the low back.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Suzanne Blangsted (X) : iliosacral column is bekkenet, which is mentioned following the iliospinal column, and I agree that Vedis's answer could be the answer, and Vedis should post that.r

Not according to Grey's Anatomy! Please see http://www.bartleby.com/107/
neutral Vedis Bjørndal : If the *I* is an 'l' it could stand for 'lumbosacral'-Røntgen lumbosacral columna (nedre rygg/korsrygg)

That would make sense. Post it ("lumbosacral column") and ask Helen to double-check the letter! The KudoZ could be yours!

IS column and pelvis

With the obvious confusion the answers must give you, I suggest you keep the abbreviation, which is also valid in English (US).

My previous answer has been removed. It was:

iliospinal column

Maybe this one, it includes the hips

iliospinal (il·io·spi·nal) (il²e-o-spi¢n[schwa]l) pertaining to the ilium and the spinal column.

Peer comment(s):
neutral Sven Petersson : NIL Google hits on "iliospinal column". No "iliospinal column" in Grey's Anatomy (see http://www.bartleby.com/107/). NIL relevant "IS column" found by Google, only heaps of "is column"! Please tell us what you think an "IS column" is, and where it is!
