Body
was changed:
Ultrasound artifacts are commonly encountered and familiarity is necessary to avoid false diagnoses. In some cases, specific artifacts can even offer valuable diagnostic information. For instance, some artifacts may be indicative of certain pathologies. They are not to be confused with ultrasound probe defects, which represent hardware failure.
