Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order of patient densities from most radiolucent (appears darker on the image) to most radiopaque (appears whiter on the image) is gas, fat, muscle, and bone. Therefore, option D, which arranges densities in this order, is the correct choice. Option A and C both have the correct order, but they have bone and fat in the wrong order. Option B has the reverse order of densities, while option E includes metal, which is not a natural component of the human body and not one of the densities observed in radiography.
