In the context of ultrasound imaging, an artifact refers to any feature in the image that does not accurately represent the true anatomical structures or tissues being examined. Artifacts can arise from various sources, including equipment limitations, operator techniques, or patient-related factors. Understanding these artifacts is essential for clinicians to avoid misinterpretations of ultrasound images and to ensure accurate diagnoses.
