RADIOOPAQUE

RADIOLUSCENT

• RADIOLUSCENT- RADIOLUSCENT- The capability of a substance with a relatively small atomic number to let a large amount of x-rays pass through it, thus producing darkened images on x-ray films.

• RADIOOPACITY-RADIOOPACITY-The capability of a substance to hinder or completely stop the passage of x-rays, display as white/light areas on an exposed x-ray film.

Lycopus Virginicus has been of service in several cases of failing compensatory hypertrophy. One case especially was that of a man seventy years old who was addicted to the use of tobacco and had used a great deal of alcohol. There was an endocardial murmur, and rapid dilatation of the heart was taking place. A cough with haemoptysis was present, and the heart's action was quick, irregular and feeble.
