French term or phrase: sans pénétration de contraste
Surgical report concerning a meniscectomy:

"Il y a une discrète anomalie de signal linéaire en densité protonique au niveau de la corne antérieure de ce même ménisque, mais sans pénétration de contraste. Il ne s'agit donc vraisemblablement pas d'une déchirure nouvelle."

agree  DouglasCarnall: that "without" is fairly essential! But medeast's use of "uptake" is better that "penetration" in this context I think.

uptake of contrast material


Explanation:
I suspect that the phrase in question refers to the uptake of contrast material (in an MRI). There are plenty of hits for this term on the Internet.

Joanne: Yes, you're quite right. I forgot to include the word "without". I was focusing on the "pénétration" part. Regards.
