    Geometric image artifacts in ultrasound can create false multiple images, complicating early pregnancy diagnosis and IUD/tumor assessments. Moving the transducer can resolve these artifacts, ensuring accurate medical imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging
    • Diagnostic ultrasound
    • Signal processing

    Context:

    • Modern multielement arrays with digital signal processing produce accurate ultrasound images.
    • Physical limitations in ultrasound technology lead to geometric image artifacts.
    • These artifacts manifest as multiple images, complicating diagnoses.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the nature and impact of geometric image artifacts in diagnostic ultrasound.
    • To explain the cause of artifacts related to sonic behavior at interfaces.
    • To highlight the importance of artifact recognition and clarification in specific clinical scenarios.

    Summary:

    • Geometric artifacts cause multiple, symmetrical images, particularly problematic in early pregnancy (differentiating single vs. multiple gestations) and during checks for intrauterine devices (IUDs) and gynecological tumors.

  • These artifacts stem from sonic behavior at interfaces, dependent on the angle of incidence.
  • While often recognizable, especially with IUDs, all multiple structures require clarification via appropriate techniques, particularly in early pregnancy and with tumors.

    • Impact:

    • Improved diagnostic accuracy in early pregnancy detection and gynecological assessments.
    • Enhanced understanding of ultrasound artifact generation and mitigation strategies.
    • Reduced misdiagnosis rates by emphasizing artifact clarification techniques.
