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.
Acoustic analog recording is achieved by a microphone diaphragm that can detect and sense the changes in atmospheric pressure caused by acoustic sound waves and record them as a mechanical representation of the sound waves on a medium such as a phonograph record (in which a stylus cuts grooves on a record).
