| A 22-year-old patient came for an abdomen ultrasound. Object reproduction artifact or refractive artifact (ie, caused by partial refraction - partial distortion of the direction / refraction of the beam after it passes the boundary of environments with different densities, as a result, the main and additional false images are obtained), a similar artifact was described with doubling of the uterus, located behind the filled bladder (split-image artifact) - external link And here the anterior abdominal wall is probably the refracting boundary of the environments, since we see a doubling of the liver, vertebra, gas in the intestines, and even the tripling of the pancreatic head. external link | |
