what does high density in the heart mean?

what does high density in the heart mean?

I went and had a MRI done the other day and the nurse said my results where an inflammed disc in the back( which that was the reason I got the MRI), and also she said that I had high density in right side of heart, so I'm having a CT done tommorrow, so does anybody know what high density in the heart means? Thanks

The images from MRI will show the differences in densities in the body. High density structures absorbs more x-rays and shows up "light" on the images.The differences in shading between the densities allows x-rays to outline organs, show abnormalities and find disease locations.
