note : X-ray tissue densities: The greatest contrast is found in areas of greatest difference in density of
adjacent structures (red circle).
Contrast within the overall image depends on differences in both the density of structures in the body and
the thickness of those structures. The greater the difference in either density or thickness of two adjacent
structures leads to greater contrast between those structures within the image.
