Refraction artifact. (a) Diagram shows the refraction or change in direction of the US beam due to an interface at a non-perpendicular angle. The difference in propagation speed between the two tissues can cause refraction to occur. (b) The object in the path of the refracted portion of the beam is misplaced because the processor assumes a straight path of the beam. Modified from Feldman MK et al. [5].
