The density - The “compactness” of a substance, defined as its mass per unit volume. In radiology, the term relates to the amount of radiation absorbed by the structure being X-rayed. Bone absorbs radiation well and appears white on Xray film.
A lung, which contains mostly air, absorbs little radiation and is dark on the film.The same is true for CT scanning and MRI. (See also specific gravity.)
