Image Artifact
Image Artifact
A distortion or error in an image that is unrelated to the actual object being studied.
Artifact Sources
Artifact Sources
Artifacts can originate from the patient, the chosen imaging settings, the image reconstruction process, or equipment malfunctions.
Artifact Impact
Artifact Impact
Artifacts can degrade image quality, making it harder to see important details and potentially leading to incorrect diagnoses.

Study Notes
Image Quality Degradation
- Artifacts distort or err in an image, unrelated to the subject.
- Artifacts impact image quality, detail perceptibility, and can lead to misdiagnosis.
- Sources of artifacts include patient factors, protocol selection, reconstruction processes, and equipment issues (malfunctions or imperfections).
