Artifact
An artifact is a structure that is not anatomically present but is visible in a MRI examination, they are sometimes present in MR images and tend to affect them. Radiographers and Radiologists should be able to recognise them in order to avoid diagnostic pitfalls but also try to prevent them from happening. MRI artifacts, however, can also have clinical utility and even help radiologists to reach a diagnosis.
