Artifact Overview
CT artifacts arise from motion, metal, and beam hardening. Recognizing them improves diagnostic accuracy. Students learn common artifact patterns.
Metal Artifacts
Metal objects create streaks and distortions. Advanced algorithms help reduce these effects. Students explore correction strategies.
Motion Artifacts
Patient motion reduces clarity and detail. Proper positioning and communication minimize motion. Students learn how to prevent motion artifacts.
Correction Techniques
Correction techniques improve image quality and reduce repeat scans. Understanding these methods supports safe imaging. Students learn how to apply corrections.
