Abstract

Artifacts in radiography can be detrimental to interpretation by decreasing visualization or altering the appearance of an area of interest. Digital radiographs (DRs) have their own unique artifacts, and recognition of these artifacts is important to prevent misinterpretation and help identify the cause. A DR artifact can be categorized according to the step during which it was created. The major categories are preexposure, exposure, postexposure, reading, and workstation artifacts. Understanding the cause of artifacts and method of resolution is paramount in acquiring high-quality digital images.
