An image artifact is any image attribute, which is not present in the original imaged object. An image artifact is sometime the result of an improper operation of the imager, and in other times a consequence of natural processes or properties of the human body.
Artifacts in diagnostic ultrasound are a reflection or an echo, which appears on the display and represents the real anatomical structure not correctly. An artifact can be a false, multiple or misleading information introduced by the imaging system or by interaction of ultrasound with the adjacent tissue.

Artifacts in ultrasound can be classified as to their source like e.g.:
Image artifacts can occur in each medical ultrasound. Then an interpretation of the image is complicated and can eliminate the structural information of objects looking for.

The dimension of the ultrasound beam and the transducer array are the origin of the beam width artifact or volume averaging artifact. When the ultrasound beam is wider than the diameter of the lesion being scanned, normal tissues which lie immediately adjacent to the lesion arc included within the beam width, and their echotexture is averaged in with that of the lesion.
Thus, what appears to be the echogenicity of the lesion is really that of the lesion plus the averaged normal tissues. Because of volume averaging, cystic lesions may falsely appear to be solid, and some subtle solid lesions may become impossible to distinguish from surrounding normal tissue and, therefore, not identified at all.

Biplane endorectal and endovaginal probes are commonly used in obstetrics, gynecology and urology. They are generally composed of 2 arrays one linear for imaging of the longitudinal plane and a highly curved one to image the transverse plane. These two planes allow a perpendicular visualization of the region of interest.
Ultrasound imaging in both transverse and longitudinal planes enables e.g., precise multiple biopsies by simultaneous visualization of both planes in real-time.
