6.11.1.2 <strong>Image</strong>s with artefacts<br />

• Radiographs that show images with soft tissues or artefacts<br />

The radiographs may show anatomical parts of the soft tissues or<br />

show radiographic artefacts.<br />

Normally the soft tissues might be more or less present depending on<br />

the patient positioning, while the presence of artefacts is strictly<br />

dependent on the presence of foreign objects on the trajectory of the<br />

X-ray beam.<br />

Next figure shows these cases; please consider that all structures<br />

have a bilateral duplicate.<br />

Figure 49<br />

Where different references are described among with the<br />

cause/remedy, if any.<br />

Soft tissue Description Artifacts Description<br />

2 Hear soft tissue 1 Dark shadows due to<br />

the air gap between<br />

tongue and palat<br />

3 Nose soft tissue 4 Spine column<br />

7 Epiglottis 5 Leaded apron too high<br />

The part identified with "6" in Figure 49 represents the image of the<br />

controlateral mandible (the other side of the mandible). That<br />

therefore results as a clearer area overlapped to the real image. Very<br />

often the resulting darker area in the bottom corner is noticed and is<br />

considered as an artefact of the radiological image.<br />
