2 Purpose An artefact is defined as any feature appearing in an image, which is not present in the original object, which is not an actual anatomic/pathological structure, masking true abnormalities or creating pseudo-lesions [1]. MRI is the non-invasive, radiationfree modality used in diagnostic imaging for over three decades, providing both, the indispensible images of anatomic / pathological structures and the functional data unavailable with other imaging modalities [2]. Artefacts in MRI appear as the result of complex interactions of different subsystems: the main magnet, gradient coils, radiofrequency transmitter and receiver, reconstruction gradient algorithm - the computer system [3]. Since 1972, when the magnetic resonance had been introduced into imaging, the technologic advances in the MRI system - components and architecture, including the different diagnostic applications of the modality and the introduction of the software solutions for image processing, different sources of potential artefacts and pitfalls. Zhuo and Gullapalli (2006) [3] propose the broad general classification of the sources of artefacts according to the subsystems of the MRI architecture: - Image-reconstruction related (limitations of the reconstruction algorithm) - System-related (due to transient effects of one or more subsystems) - Physiology related (due to complex subject-system interactions) Smith and Nayak (2010) [4] defined the common sources of MRI artefacts as follows: - Resonant offsets (Field inhomogeneity; Susceptibility; Chemical shift) - Hardware limitations (Gradient nonlinearities; Concomitant gradients; Timing errors; RF field nonuniformity; Limited dynamic range) - Motion and flow (Respiration; Cardiac cycle; Blood and CSF flow; Peristalsis and swallowing; Voluntary patient motion) - Miscellaneous (Aliasing, slice overlap, magic-angle RF interference; Truncation) Erasmus et al. (2004) [5] classify the artefacts based on their origin into three broad groups: - Patient-related MR artefacts (Motion artefacts; Flow; Metal artefacts) Page 2 of 25
3 - Signal-processing dependent (Chemical shift artefact; Partial volume; Wrap around; Gibbs phenomenon - ringing artefact) - Hardware-related (RF-quadrature; External magnetic field (B0) inhomogeneity; Gradient field artefacts (B1) inhomogeneity; RF inhomogeneity; Asymmetrical brightness; RF noise; RF tip angle inhomogeneity; Bounce point artefact; Surface coil artefacts; Sliceto-slice interference) There are other artefact-classification systems, proposed by other authors, covering the same artefacts classified somewhat differently or ion different order, as proposed by Morelli et al. (2011) [2], or Harvey et al. (2007) [6], focusing on the artefacts specific for breast MRI, while the mentioned three-category classification systems mostly overlap. The MRI artefacts are summarized in Tables 1-3, according to their origins. We analyzed the artefacts encountered during the second reading of the breast, abdominal and pelvic MRI-examinations of the outpatients, which were performed in other centers / cabinets. The second reading or the additional consultation was performed. Page 3 of 25

6 Methods and Materials We retrospectively analyzed 22 MRI exams of breast, abdomen and pelvis, performed in different centers / cabinets in the period: January September The examinations were recorded on the DVD in the centers where the examinations were performed and were analyzed on the 27-inch imac (Apple, Cupertino, California, USA) with the DICOM viewer OsiriX (OsiriX, Pixmeo, Geneva, Switzerland). The artefacts were analyzed according to the two classification systems. The first classification system used for the analysis of the artefacts (as described in Tables 1-3) is based on the origin of the artefacts, including the subject-related artefacts, the hardware and the signal-processing artefacts. The artefacts were then re-analyzed according to the impact on the quality of the image and the level of severity, according to the classification proposed by Fischer et al. [7], summarized in Table 4. Page 6 of 25
7 Images for this section: Table 4: Classification of artefacts according to the level of severity Page 7 of 25
8 Results In the 22 analyzed exams (6 abdominal MRI, 3 pelvic MRI, 11 breast MRI), the most common artefacts according to the classification system based on the artefact-origin were: motion-related (patient-related, Fig. 1-5), followed by signal processing artefacts (chemical shift, Fig. 6; wrap around or aliasing, Fig. 7-8) and hardware related artefacts (Fig. 9-14). According to the level of severity, all abdominal MRI exams (6/6; 100%), and pelvic exams (3/3; 100%) belonged to the Category 4 - unacceptable. Concerning the breast MRI examinations there were 11 examinations analyzed: (7/11; 64%) of breast MRI exams were classified as unacceptable - Category 4. The remaining examinations (4/11; 36%) were classified as the Category 3 - distinct. Page 8 of 25

23 Conclusion Artefacts can easily simulate real lesions and mislead the radiologist. Recognizing the artefacts include their identification, understanding and avoidance, leading to corrections and improvement in quality. New techniques like ultrafast imaging and high-field MRI scanners (3T or higher) may involve the appearance of different kind and frequency of artefacts. It is worth mentioning that the MRI examinations no longer represent the structure-only imaging methods, but also provide the numerous data on functional aspects (DWI, PWI, MRS), enlarging thus the chances of artefacts to appear and influence the results, leading to possible misinterpretation.
