In the dialog windows that opens on Image -> Image Properties the first item is "Pixel dimensions:".

In my opinion this is incorrect (it sounds like it were about the dimensions of a physical pixel). I think it should be "Image dimensions", or "Image size", or something like that.

I think that "Pixel dimensions" is fine as it is. It is compact, and it is very clear in the context in which it appears, that is, followed by "(yyy) x (zzz) pixels". I don't think anybody familiar with image editing in any sense will think that it's referring to the shape of a single pixel.

Any options that don't mention "Pixel" in the name will likely leave someone wondering how they can see other kinds of sizes there.

"Dimension in pixels" is nice, but is longer with little real benefit.

Let's use plain English, "Size in pixels": 10864 pixels wide, 50921 pixels wide.

Anything that can be done to make it easier for people to learn that pixels do not have a fixed size when you print them will be a big win, especially for people who learned an incorrect or confused view because of using PhotoShop...

'pixel dimensions' is more confusing than it needs to be, so I changed to 'size in pixels':

app: "Pixel dimensions" -> "Size in pixels" in Image Properties dialog

'Pixel dimensions' can be misinterpreted with the size of a pixel, so use 'size in pixels' instead. This is consistent with e.g. the Scale Image dialog which talks about 'image size'.
