The shading of the greys are reversed. You can see tissue, including a penis on film. This image is just a crappy image and has been butchered. The more dense the bone is, the whiter it will appear on film. A human skull does not appear that dark. The teeth in the jaw look horrible on that image. There's no definition of the teeth on the maxillary (upper) right side, which either the person moved and blurred the image, or the image was doctored. If the person moved, the lower right teeth would be blurred also. They aren't. There's a bridge on the lower right side replacing the 2 missing premolars, but there is no real definition of the canine or other lower anterior teeth. The roots and pins are not correct shades of grey. The tongue is missing. Neck muscles do not appear like that on film. The details are all reversed on the film. You can see details of the fingers, parts of the jaw, but not on the penis?

Cephalometric, panoramic, x-rays do allow for you to see the nose, lips, and chin. On these films and periapicals, you can see nerves in individual teeth and the nerves in both jaws. If you can see the nerve paths in the jaw, you would also be able to see the nerves and blood supplies in the penis. The image has his penis as transparent and without detail.
