Looks to me like ripples in a pond . . . is it possible that there is something causing the film to stick out? Amybe some sort of particle that isn't being scanned?
Otherwise, I'd say that the imaging sensor isn't being held steady, or something, though that doesn't sound right either.

I've been scanning 4X5 negs the last few days with my Epson 2450 and I'm getting a weird "pattern" on my scans that looks kinda like a fingerprint but it's definately not. I've tried scanning in the holder and flat on the glass with same results. Also tried 1800 as well as 2400 ppi, same prob. The patterns are showing up randomly in my scans. Havent tried going back to 35mm or 6X7 yet....
Anybody ever have this? Is my scanner broken? THIS SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
Sample scan, cropped showing problem:

BTW, I just got a Schneider 90mm/F8 S. A. wide angle for my 4X5 and this lens kicks some serious ass!!
