Dear nitin,

X-rays picture that you get is dependent on the density of the matter that comes in the path of that rays.The image of bones is clear beacuse they are more denser than the surrounding tissues.If you want to have the image of the tissues and ma?tter around it you many not be that succesful as in the case of dense matter.

GOODLUCK
