    Bow-shaped artifacts in B-mode ultrasound stem from beam breadth interacting with strong reflectors. Understanding this artifact

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging physics
    • Diagnostic ultrasound technology
    • Acoustic artifact analysis

    Context:

    • Bow-shaped artifacts are common visual phenomena in B-mode ultrasound.
    • These artifacts can be mistaken for genuine pathological conditions.
    • Previous understanding of their origin lacked comprehensive investigation.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the fundamental cause of bow-shaped artifacts in B-mode ultrasound.
    • To determine the factors influencing the morphology of these artifacts.
    • To differentiate artifactual appearances from actual clinical findings.

    Summary:

    • Experiments in water tanks and comparisons with in vivo observations identified beam breadth as the primary cause of bow-shaped artifacts.
    • Artifact shape is modulated by the ultrasound instrument type, machine settings, and reflector geometry.

  • These artifacts manifest at strong reflectors within hypoechoic regions, both in vitro and in vivo.

    • Impact:

    • Clarifies the origin of a common ultrasound artifact, improving diagnostic accuracy.
    • Provides insights for optimizing ultrasound machine settings to minimize artifactual interference.
    • Reduces the likelihood of misinterpreting artifacts as pathological findings like septa or sludge.
