How does the differential absorption of X-rays contribute to image contrast?.
- A.Different tissues absorb X-rays equally
- B.Denser tissues absorb more X-rays
- C.All tissues reflect X-rays
- D.X-rays pass through all tissues without absorption
Model answer
What a good answer should say
- Denser tissues absorb more X-rays
Explanation
Why this works
Differential absorption occurs because denser tissues absorb more X-rays than less dense tissues, creating contrast in the resulting X-ray image, which helps in distinguishing between different structures.
