Types of artifacts the following are various causes of artifacts associated with computed radiography.
Venetian blind artifact radiology.
This gives rise to the so called venetian blind artifacts shown in the image left.
It represents overlap between adjacent slabs that are acquired as separate acquisitions and then fused together.
Venetian blind shadowing is a type of posterior acoustic artifact described as bands of linear shadows along lines of sight often diverging on a convex probe 1.
It has been attributed to either hardening of the tissue in the paraffin block or defective assembly of the microtome knife.
Ultrasound features of adenomyosis including asymmetrical uterine wall thickening anteriorly with focal heterogeneity and associated increased blood flow as well as the venetian blind pattern of acoustic shadowing the latter may be seen with either adenomyosis or uterine fibroids.
Rain shower 2 appearance is a sonographic finding that is typically associated with adenomyosis but can also occur in uterine fibroids the venetian blind appearance associated with adenomyosis is typically thin whereas when associated with uterine fibroids there are also edge shadows or dense posterior shadowing from calcification 1.
Ironic to its name it resembles vertical blinds rather than the classic horizontal appearance of venetian window blinds figs.
Knowledge and understanding the root cause of artifacts to the imaging process will assist in determining corrective actions needed to prevent reoccurrences.
Venetian blind shadowing is a type of posterior acoustic artifact described as bands of linear shadows along lines of sight often diverging on a convex probe 1.
The venetian blinds artifact is an uncommon tissue cutting artifact that leads to the formation of parallel series of strips of tissue separated from one another by narrow clear spaces.

It has classically been described in uterine adenomyosis 2 3 as.
Images with 1 mm or less spatial resolution in all three planes are required.
High resolution imaging of the carotid arteries is possible when image quality is of greater concern than acquisition time.
