We all know this is not 100% true! Lots of artifacts are no one's fault ๐ ๐ ๐
I've put together a carousel highlighting some of ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐จ๐ง ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ, some possible ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ to mitigate them, and of course, some ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ฆ๐๐ ๐๐ฌ to showcase these same artifacts. On this carousel, we have ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐, where I elaborate a bit on ๐๐ข๐ต๐ช๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต-๐ณ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ช๐ด๐ด๐ถ๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ช๐ต๐บ ๐๐๐ ๐ข๐ณ๐ต๐ช๐ง๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ด.
๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ are a day-to-day occurrence in any scanner at any field strength. Just remember that artifacts are ๐ง๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ฅ๐ฐ๐๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐๐ฏ๐จ๐ข๐๐๐๐ฅ๐, and in some restrictive cases are even used for diagnostic purposes.
Also, do not worry if you can't recognise them all, t๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ก๐ฒ ๐ ๐๐ฆ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ง๐๐ฑ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐๐๐ค ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ ๐
