Spanish term

Id. Signos de...

Spanish to English Other Medical (general) Medical Imaging
I am currently translating some medical reports from the Dominican Republic. This particular phrase keeps popping up in relation to medical imaging. Sometimes it appears as "Id." with a period and other times without the period, but always with "Signos" with a capital S immediately after.

Is this shorthand for "indica"? That would be my best bet, and it would appear to work in context, but I thought I'd ask here to get a second opinion. Plus the capitalization is throwing me off.

Thanks in advance!

Chema Nieto Castañón Apr 25:
Sin contexto, "id. Signos (de ...)" podría significar idem ("el mismo/lo mismo"), referido a introducción previa, o bien "identifican" (se identifican) [se identifican signos de...], como sentidos plausibles aquí, entre otros.

Algún ejemplo concreto ayudará a determinar el sentido del original.

Cosnautas Cosnautas offers 35 possible meanings of the Id initialism / abbreviation. One of these is Impresión Diagnóstica, which possibly fits here.
Joseph Tein Apr 25:
Seeing is believing It might help to see a complete line or sentence, or several examples if they're slghtly different, as they appear in the report, so we could see exactly what you see.

Identificado?
'Indica' sounds less likely, because that would more logically be 'ind.'

Impresión diagnóstica

In the Dominican Republic, doctors will often use Px for "paciente", Dx for "diagnóstico", and Id for "impresión diagnóstica". I've come across the term when working in hospitals before.
Example sentence:

Id. Signos de daño renal

Peer comment(s):
agree Joseph Tein : Sounds good; it matches what I said in my comment about the Cosnautas entry.

neutral Chema Nieto Castañón : Impresión diagnóstica es una posibilidad. Sin embargo seguido de "Signos" sería plausible en las conclusiones de un informe radiográfico, por ejemplo, pero no parece ser el caso general aquí de acuerdo al limitado contexto. Seguridad 5 así no razonable.
