Artifacts are marks found in imaging studies that aren't caused by anything found in the patient's body. They are the radiology equivalent of static on your radio or "snow" on your TV.

Artifacts in general radiography are disruptions or distortions in the image that are not true representations of the anatomy. They can be caused by technical errors, patient motion, or issues with equipment, and can affect the quality and interpretation of the radiographic image. Common examples of artifacts include scatter radiation, grid cutoff, and image processing errors.

How is computed radiography different from direct radiography?

'Direct' radiography implies that the other form is 'indirect' radiography which is indeed the implicit connotation. With digital radiography the results of the X-ray are immediate as the system is connected directly to the computer. In indirect radiography (also called computed radiography) a phosphor plate is used, become radiated, and then are scanned following this exposure to see that X-ray's outcome.

What is the permissible dose rate in industrial radiography?

The permissible dose rate in industrial radiography is typically set by regulatory agencies and varies depending on the country and specific circumstances. In general, dose rates are kept as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA) to minimize radiation exposure to workers and the public. Monitoring and compliance with established dose limits are essential to ensure safety in industrial radiography operations.
