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.
For distortion in general, see Distortion. Distortion and overdrive are forms of audio signal processing used to alter the sound of amplified electric musical instruments, usually by increasing their gain. Distortion is most commonly used with the electric guitar, but may also be used with other electric instruments.
