French term or phrase: tonalité endocoronaire

The coronary angiography of the LAD showed "Une petite image de tonalité endocoronaire entre les deux stents". Does 'tonalité' mean opacity here? And for 'endocoronaire', would 'intracoronary' or 'intravascular' be OK?

Thank you in advance

intraluminal density

Explanation:
tonalité = "brightness" of the image = density
endocoronaire = inside the coronary artery

So as I read it, the segment in between the two stents had the density of the inside (the lumen) of a coronary artery.
