The term I am struggling with is 'sluier'. It appears in a second opinion report which is a study of radiological images.

Impression of a veil at the level of the right maxillary sinus
Explanation:
It appears as if the radiologist is just describing what he/she is seeing (a veil might be a white opacity on the X-ray in the shape of a veil). Neither Coehlo nor v. Dale give any other definition; more context might help. Good luck!

agree  Tina Vonhof: I would opt for opacity.

  -> Thank you; I would too if the context allowed it; however in this case (little context) it would feel to me to be a diagnosis and would rather err on the side of cautiousness.
