why costo cartilages are not seen clearly in x ray, unless they are calcified?

Explanation:
According to a book written on this mummy it suggests that this one has calcification of the costal cartilages, but I'm not sure whether this is what is on the x ray. I have not encountered this so I wouldn't know how to interpret it. I have looked at medical x rays online that show costal cartilages but these are much clearer x rays.
