<h3>What makes something radiodense as opposed to radiolucent?</h3>
Materials that prevent electromagnetic radiation from passing through are referred to as radiodense or radiopaque, whereas materials that permit radiation to pass more readily are referred to as radiolucent. In contrast to radiolucent volumes, which appear significantly darker on radiographs, radiopaque volumes of material seem white.
<h3>What exactly does radiodensity mean?</h3>
It is the relative inability of radio waves and X-rays to flow through a certain substance. Radiodensity (or radiopacity) is opacity to the radio wave and X-ray portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.
