“…Mirror image artifacts have also been described in transcranial doppler ultrasonography11,12 and cardiac imaging 13. As with all artifacts, changing the transducer orientation or patient positioning causes the mirror-image artifact to resolve.…”

Vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy is a common emergency department complaint. Point-of-care ultrasound is a useful tool to evaluate for intrauterine ectopic pregnancy. Emergency physicians performing these studies need to be cognizant of artifacts produced by ultrasound technology, as they can lead to misdiagnosis. We present two cases where mirror-image artifacts initially led to a concern for heterotopic pregnancies but were excluded on further imaging.

“…The obstetric ultrasound is by far not free from these artifacts, as well. Although mirror-image artifacts are well-recognized and acknowledged in the medical ultrasound literature [1][2][3], such phantom images have rarely been defined during fetal ultrasound imaging [4]. In the current report, the findings of the mirror-image artifact of one of the fetuses in a dichorionic-diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancy were defined.…”

ÖzetYirmi sekiz yaşında 22 haftalık dikoryonik diamniyotik ikiz gebeliğin rutin antenatal ultrason muayenesinde, posterior plasenta içinde hareket eden bir "fantom fetüs" göze çarpmaktaydı. Bu görünümün ayna artefaktı olduğu ve amniyon keseleri arasında serbest hareket halindeki ikizler arası zarın da yansıtıcı yüzeyi oluştur-duğu sonucuna varıldı. Obstetrik sonografi esnasında bu şekilde fantom görüntü-lerin ortaya çıkabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler Artefaktlar; Prenatal Ultrasonografi; İkiz Gebeliği AbstractDuring the routine antenatal ultrasound scan of a 28-year-old woman at 22 weeks' gestation with a dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancy, a "moving phantom fetus" was evident within the posterior placenta. It was concluded that the image was a mirror-image artifact with the freely floating inter-twin membrane between the amniotic sacs, comprising the reflective surface. The possibility of such phantom images during obstetric sonography should be considered.

“…A number of additional artifacts have been identified in tissue imaging, including speckle, [35][36][37] mirror images, [38][39][40] shadowing and enhancement, [41][42][43][44] section thickness, 45,46 refraction, [41][42][43] speed error, 47,48 and range ambiguity. 49,50 Several of these also appear to be important for instrument imaging as described below.…”
