Mirror-Image Artifact Mimicking a Carotid Artery Dissection

Abby Kurtz, BS, RDMS, RVT

7860 Linda Joyce Drive, Bartlett, TN 38133, abbyek{at}bellsouth.net

Sonographic artifacts are a common occurrence in B-mode, color, and spectral Doppler. Sonographers should be aware of the potential occurrence of these artifacts so that a normal examination is not classified as abnormal. In the case presented in this article, a mirror-image artifact from the wall of the jugular vein appeared in the common carotid artery lumen, mimicking a carotid artery dissection.

Key Words: mirror image artifact • carotid dissection • carotid artery
