French term or phrase: en pré-aortique
Ultrasound scan report from France describing the size of a liver:

L'examen est pratiqué en temps réel sectoriel avec sonde à 3.5 MHz et par engregistrement Doppler pulsé couleur.
Il montre un foie de dimensions limite supérieures de la normale puisqu'il mesure respectivement :
- en pré-aortique : 10.6 cm;
- en pré-veineux cave : 11.4 cm;
- sur la ligne mamelonaire [sic: mamelonnaire] droite: 16.1 cm.

"Preaortic", I guess, but I can't find much in English to support this and I'm unsure how to render "en". Preaortic line?

Into U.S. English.

I think it refers to the vertical depth of the liver in front of the aorta. "pré" normally means anterior as in pre-aortic lymph nodes
