Understanding the mechanics of flow artifacts on CT or CT angiography (CTA) and how these artifacts are created is key to better disease diagnosis, according to a review published April 25 in RadioGraphics. At first glance, flow artifacts may appear as a simple distractor to the discerning eye of a radiologist," Robb and colleagues noted.
