scatter radiation.
Rationale: scatter radiation – Each patient or "subject" exhibits different rates of absorption with the different tissues being exposed. Patients have contrast because each person has tissues that vary in thickness and size. Scatter radiation interacts with these tissues, which can influence "subject" contrast, NOT film contrast. That is different.
