    Artifacts are commonly seen in CT scans and can obscure or mimic pathology. The document discusses the different types of artifacts that can occur in CT scans, including noise, beam hardening, scatter, pseudo-enhancement, motion, cone beam, helical, ring, and metal artifacts. Examples are given of metal artifacts appearing as radiating white streaks due to a metallic coil used for an aneurysm and reduced artifacts around knee replacement hardware allowing better visualization of tissue healing near the implant.

    What is an artifact in a CT scan?
    Artifacts are commonly encountered in clinical computed tomography (CT), and may
    obscure or simulate pathology. There are many different types of CT artifacts including:
    1. Noise
    2. Beam hardening
    3. Scatter
    4. Pseudo-enhancement
    5. Motion
    6. Cone beam
    7. Helical
    8. Ring
    9. Metal artifacts
    Radiating white streaks in right para sellar region due to
    metallic coil in situ used for right MCA aneurysm.
    Sagittal plane through knee, showing TKA hardware. Artifacts
    through the metal-bone interface have been reduced,
    improving visualization of tissue healing in the vicinity of metal
    implant.
