Japanese term or phrase: 右肺下葉 vs 右肺底部
What is the difference between 右肺下葉 and 右肺底部? Both are translated on websites as “right lower lobe of the lung.” I suspect that 右肺底部 just means the right bottom of the lung. The two terms appear in two consecutive sentences, so they should be different, but I wondered why they are translated the same on websites.

胸部CT所見: 左肺舌区に淡い斑状影を認め右肺下葉に小結節影認めます。また右肺底部に索状影を認めます。
Chest CT findings: A faint mass shadow was detected in the lingua of the left lung and a shadow of a small nodule was detected in the (right lower lobe?) of the lung. A restiform shadow was also observed in the (right lower lobe?) of the lung.

right lower lobe vs base of the right lower lobe


Explanation:
I agree with you about the need for differentiation in this particular context.

To convey the nuance of 底部, I would translate as "base of the right lower lobe".
