French term

pseudo-densités aériques

French to English Medical Medical (general) ENT - exploration of ear
Patient with deafness and suspected fractured eardrum/petrosal bone:

Absence d'anomalie visible au niveau des tours de la cochlée ni des canaux semi-circulaires. Attention, il existe des pseudo-densités aériques le long des parois osseuses et en particulier au sein du labyrinthe d'origine artéfactuelle.

artefacts with density eqivalent to that of air

"pseudodensity" seems to have a specific meaning in scan technology that does not apply here.
Basically it is saying that there are "spots" with a density equivalent to that of air which are in fact artefactual.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I considered Liz's answer for a long time, but I decided thatt he difference between "what seem to be air bubbles" and "a [substance] with the equivalent density of air" was large enough to opt for this one instead"

The images are of good quality for all algorithms. The
different objects of the phantom are well represented despite
the relatively large cone-angle. The ROI reconstruction does
not bring additional artifacts, which proves that the methods
for short- and long-object reconstructions are equivalent.
A noticeable artifact is the wave in the axial slice, which
comes from the small air bubbles of the right inner ear and is
present for all methods. At the moment, we do not understand
the origin of this artifact.
The ZB method presents some small artifacts in the region
of the frontal sinus, which is probably due to a resolution
mismatch between the 2 partial images. Some small artifacts
are also to be seen in the VC method. None of these artifacts
are present for the LR method, but we can notice
undershooting around some of the high contrast objects. This
undershooting is probably related to the calculation of the
derivative filters in the 4-step algorithm.

This is a tricky one!
