Change: This is quite a complicated subject although the concept of an interference pattern is elegantly simple. For a very comprehensive discussion of the subject refer to the document titled "Stationary Grids for Kodak Computed Radiography" by Xiouhui Wang, Ph.D., andDavid H. Foos, M.S.

Change: This image is taken on a CR system. There is a horizontal artifact across the upper third of the image. It appears to involve bones and soft tissues but does not involve the black post-processing auto-coning. This is likely to be caused by   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 854)

Change: photostimulable phosphor plate. When the plate was removed from the cassette, the marks were visible and looked like artifacts that might be associated with using a dirty cleaning cloth.It is noteworthy that whether you are cleaning CR or conventional DFFS screens, there are cleaning products provided by   View changes from previous version.

Change: a moirean interference pattern. Imagine the longer parallel lines to be the grid lines and the shorter lines to be the laser reader path lines. For an interference pattern to occuroccur, the lines must be at different spacings or frequencies. If you squint at   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 697)

This artifact could be thought of as a form of diffraction grating artifact or interference pattern. It is caused by the   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 685)

Change:  if possible. Conclusion Artifacts such as those described above can cause an particular image to be repeated. An awareness of common artifact appearances can assist in finding a timely diagnosis and remedy. Minimising the number of repeat images from artifacts will improve efficiency and reduce patient radiation dose.   View changes from previous version. (Word count: 681)
