Context:
Discrète majoration de la collection de la loge d'hépatectomie mesurant 23 mm surmontée d'une clarté aérique pour 14,4 mm précédemment.

Is this a collection of "fluid" around the hepatectomy site with aerated fluid? If not what on earth is it a collection of?

CLARTÉ
L'image thoracique étant définie par sa transparence due notamment à l'air contenu dans les voies et les espaces aériens, le concept de clarté est ambigu. En radiologie pulmonaire, on parle surtout d'hyperclarté, ce qui sous-entend que l'image décrite est relativement plus "noire" que celle du parenchyme environnant. Le terme hypertransparence est également accepté.

Lors de l'analyse d'une radiographie, on parle d'hypodensité ou de clarté quand c'est « noir » et d'hyperdensité ou opacité quand c'est « blanc ». L'image a donc différents contrastes qui dépendent de l'épaisseur et des tissus du corps qui absorbent (ou laissent passer !) les rayons X.

Structures which are not very dense, such as air, absorb very little of the x-ray beam. Most of the beam passes through the air and strikes the detector. As a result, these structures appear black on x-rays, termed 'radiolucent'.

aerial clarity


Explanation:
"Discreet increase (surcharge) in the hepatectomy (hepatocytomy) lodge measuring 23 mm surmounted from an aerial clarity for a previous (preceding) reading."
(Hepatectomy is a surgicla resection of the liver.)

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/aerial

I can't find a definition of the fixed phrase 'aerial clarity', deduced from "une clarté aérique" in French, but of the two words separately.
In the medical sense, whilst 'aerial' can be an aerial with antenna used for transmitting or reading radio waves, it can also be relating to, connected with or resembling air.
The source text states specifically that the clarity is of a 14.4mm preceding measurement in the air.
