Hi colleagues,
I came across this term for the first time and I can't seem to find a proper translation for this.
Here is the paragraph it appears in:
Uitgaande van laatste menstruatie dan missed abortion. Vruchtzak 9,1 x 27,2 mm. Hierin kleine dense structuur, embryo? Geen hartactie gezien. Naast vruchtzak kleine transsoniteit van 4,6 x 4,1 mm. Mogelijk gemelli-zwangerschap in aanleg.
Any help with this would be much appreciated!

transonic area
small transonic area
tran·son·ic
(tran-son'ik),
In ultrasound, describes a region of a relatively unattenuating medium. A distinction should be made between a transonic region and an acoustic echo.
Example:
Pelvic ultrasound identified a small transonic area in the left ovary and fluid in the pouch of Douglas but no adnexal masses.

transsonity
This is a term in gynaecological ultrasonography
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0143400483800460
In about 8o per cent of the placentae 'diffuse differences' in transsonity can be demonstrated (Figure 3)
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/119677
During pregnancy single and multiple 'nodular increased transsonity' was seen echoscopically in the placenta.
This article is quoted all over the place in other publications on the Internet

To reply to Barend van Zadelhoff's comment "I don't think 'small transsonity' would work. Also, only 9 G-hits for 'transsonity'. I have my doubts about 'transsonity'. Also, 'transonic area' is correct." My response is that the reputable industry journal Gynecologic and obstetric investigation, cited by nih and pubmed and published by Karger, with offices in Basel and New York does not seem to have a problem with this term. As mentioned already, the article cited is regarded as highly authoritative and is cited all over the place.

: I don't think 'small transsonity' would work. Also, only 9 G-hits for 'transsonity'. I have my doubts about 'transsonity'. Also, 'transonic area' is correct. //Dutch article, probably literal translation. Also 'small transsonity' does not make sense.

transonicity
We really just toying with calques and loanwords at this point, so I'm guessing... but reverse engineering linguistics, this is how I would derive it. Seems to be supported by the links below:
