French term or phrase: acquisition en contraste spontané
I'm not sure if a literal translation works here or not. From a CT scan of the chest:

TECHNIQUE:
Acquisition en contraste spontané au niveau thoracique.

neutral  Tony M: I am suspicious of this as an answer, as the term returns surprisingly few results on Google, very many of which are in any case red herrings; your first ref. is clearly a translation, and I suspect not a good one. I'd like to see some solid native refs.

  -> The French ST does NOT say sans produit de contraste which makes a big difference.

agree  Tony M: The obvious literal term 'spontaneous contrast' has a quite different meaning in medical imaging which would be incorrect here.

Reference: spontaneous (echo) contrast

Reference information:
"Spontaneous contrast" gets around 8,400 Ghits. Many are for "spontaeous echo contrast".
An early paper: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8227792

One which provides a definition: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC101214/

"Spontaneous echo contrast is an echogenic swirling pattern of blood flow, distinct from white noise artifacts, caused by an increased ultrasonic back-scatter from aggregation of the cellular components of blood in the conditions of blood stasis or low-velocity blood flow. (1,2) Although this phenomenon frequently develops in a dilated and dysfunctional left atrium and left atrial appendage during atrial fibrillation, it can develop in any cardiac chamber during any rhythm if the blood flow velocity is markedly low. (3,4) The presence of spontaneous echo contrast in the left atrium and left atrial appendage has been associated with a higher risk of thromboembolism and cerebrovascular accident. (5,6).

You might find it helpful to check some of the papers referred to in the biblio on that one.

Abstract
Left atrial (LA) spontaneous echo contrast (SEC), or "smoke," is a frequent finding on transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), but it is rarely detected with transthoracic echocardiography. LA SEC is characterized by dynamic smoke-like echoes within the LA cavity or appendage.

agree  Tony M: Yes, that's my whole point: in asker's specific context, this is a glaring faux ami!
