critères définis dans le protocole et pour le passage de chaque fantôme (certification) la somme correspondant aux opérations détaillées ci-dessous.


Are they talking about certifying something here?

successful identification of each "ghost shadow" (certification)


Explanation:
I would need further context to be certain of an answer, but assuming that this seems to be a certification course/test in Radiology, I would say that "passage de chaque fantome" in this context is the successful identification of what the "ghost shadow" in an x-ray is/constitutes. Much like common practice for x-rays, in which different radiologists are asked to identify what a shadow or formation in an X-ray is. I am deducing that the person being tested is given different x-rays to examine and they are required to identify what each "ghost shadow" formation is in that x-ray.

The different literature I used to base my conclusion (I cannot stress enough) that at this time, this is a guess)

each phantom imaging (certifcation)


Explanation:
I think the right term here is "phantom".

"Imaging phantoms, or simply phantoms, are specially designed objects that are scanned or imaged in the field of medical imaging to evaluate, analyze, and tune the performance of various imaging devices."
