PARTIAL VOLUME ARTEFACT
- > differs from PV averaging
- Physics based artefact
Name the artefact, cause and correction
PHOTON STARVATION
- Cause: severe attenuation, loss of photons reaching detector

WHAT SETTINGS SHOULD BE USED TO VIEW BULLAE WITH FLUID?
POINT SPREAD EFFECT (also review blooming)
- Physics based artefact
- > Bullae with fluid: Apparent thickening -> worse when use low freq, low and narrow WW/WL due to reduced inherent contrast in this situation cf air-filled bullae which have more contrast. -> BASICALLY MAKE MORE LIKE A BONE WINDOW!
Name the artefact, cause and correction
