| Abstract: | RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES. A low-density dark band artifact was found above the diaphragm on advanced multiple-beam equalization radiography (AMBER) of the chest and was evaluated. METHODS. Fifty consecutive chest radiographs were evaluated for the presence of the artifact. AMBER radiographs of a phantom were scanned with a microdensitometer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION. The presence of the artifact is confirmed on the patient chest radiographs (present in 84% on posteroanterior view; 94% on lateral view) and on the phantom images. The artifact was probably caused by a delayed system response to scanning across a sharp boundary. |
