two hypodense irregular ellipse-shaped masses [of] 46.3 x 24.7 mm in the right side and 38. 8 x 21.2 mm in the left side
It will be pretty clear this way.

Exactly - two separate masses with two corresponding sets of measurements. I cannot say where are they located as I don't know the whole context.
I would NOT use the word "transverse" because 1) it brings up an association with smth like transverse section, which is not the case here, and 2) ellipse has two dimensions, the conjugate and transverse diameters, the transverse meaning the shortest, and the conjugate the longest diameter of the figure. If you mention "transverse", you are describing the shortest diameter of the ellipse, while in your context you have both the longest and the shortest diameters for each of the two ellipses.

Sure, "measuring" will be just fine.

Actually, the word "поперечными" in the RU text is redundant.

Note from asker:
| Thank you, Natalie. These are two separate masses with two corresponding sets of measurements. I assumed that "right" and "left" refer to the hemispheres. Not so? |
| Thanks for all of the above. I am going with my original "measuring" (which is synonymous to your 'of') |

You're welcome, Judith :-) I know what you're wondering about and think "transversely" should be included to avoid any ambiguity. As far as I understand, here they're telling us that measurements were taken across, not in the longitudinal direction. In this context I don't think they would use any words that aren't really necessary.
Note from asker:
| Thank you, Boris. That's precisely what I was wondering about—whether the inclusion of "transversely" was necessary. |
| Thanks again. Vam vidnee, I am sure. |
