What is radiographic density?

What will be an ideal response?


Density is the degree of image blackening (darkening). The darkening of a dental radiograph occurs when x-rays strike sensitive crystals in the film's emulsion, leading to a blackening after processing. When using a digital sensor, sensitive pixels capture the radiation, and "processing" by computer software produces darker pixels.
