blade (or vane) / foot
High confidence if we can assume we are looking at something like the blade/van of some sort of fan or turbine (wind turbine, jet engine, etc.).
I also take it this is some form of testing for defects (cracks?) between the "active" part of the blade/vane and the foot of the blade/vane, i.e. the bit that attaches to the hub/wheel etc.
If I'm very wide of the mark, dismiss this entirely.

"root" may be better than "foot".

Root--The area of a blade nearest to the hub. Generally the thickest and widest part of the blade.

Your additional context suggests this is indeed ultrasound testing of the vane/blade of a steam turbine. Now, which is more common in this case, vane or blade?

On the strength of simple statistics, I'd go for blade and root.
"Steam turbine" + blade + root - 40,100 (1000 with "blade root")
"Steam turbine" + vane + root - 16,700 (91 with "vane root")
"Steam turbine" + blade + foot - 49,800 (59 with "blade foot")
"Steam turbine" + vane + foot - 23,800 (2 with "vane foot")

: That's the sort of idea that was going through my mind too, though like you, I'm floundering for lack of context

sensing head/support
I get the impression that this is where the 'palpeur' is actually attached to the machine. Conge de raccordement is the connection betwen the two.
