The production of a radiographic image relies upon differential absorption and the visualization of five basic radiographic densities. Being able to see these radiographic densities depends on more than variations in tissue thickness; their visualization is a function of average atomic number and tissue-specific gravity. Of particular diagnostic significance is the subtle subject contrast between water and adipose tissue. In this session, we will examine the clinical value of fat on radiographic images and how the radiologist uses fat visualization in interpretation. We will also discuss the role of the technologist in exposure technique selection and proper positioning to optimally visualize adipose tissue.
