An artifact is something on an image that is not part of the body part being studied. The identity of the artifact can't always be identified. Sometimes repeat imaging is needed to get a good picture without artifact.

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, which often is noticed in childhood to teen years. It creates an abnormal curve in the vertebral spine. In severe scoliosis, the spinal vertebra can twist or curve so drastically that it misaligns the vertebra and places pressure on the spinal cord.
