A lucency just means a dark area on the x-ray/CT as opposed to an opacity (which is a white area). I'm not sure what type of CT scan you got (i.e. with or without contrast injection), but don't jump to conclusions about it being cancer..... lucency just means a dark area on the x-ray/CT as opposed to an opacity (which is a white area).

The operational details of amplifiers are buried in the field of electronics, but for audio purposes it is usually safe to say that current commercial audio amplifiers are so good that a normally operating amplifier is seldom the limitation on the fidelity of a sound reproduction system.
A hydrophone (Ancient Greek á½Î´ÏÏ = water and ÏÏÎ½Î® = sound) is a microphone designed to be used underwater for recording or listening to underwater sound. Most hydrophones are based on a piezoelectric transducer that generates electricity when subjected to a pressure change. Such piezoelectric materials, or transducers can convert a sound signal into an electrical signal since sound is a pressure wave. Some transducers can also serve as a projector, but not all have this capability, and may be destroyed if used in such a manner.
