Question

A ____________ artifact can be created when attempting to correct for a cupping artifact by applying a correction algorithm too aggressively to the data for a head image. This results in the _______ of the image appearing too bright.

a. capping, edges
b. capping, center
c. edge gradient, edges
d. edge gradient, center

Answer 1

When correcting for a cupping artifact in head imaging, applying the correction algorithm too aggressively can result in a capping artifact where the center of the image appears overly bright.

Step-by-step explanation:

A capping artifact can be created when attempting to correct for a cupping artifact by applying a correction algorithm too aggressively to the data for a head image. This results in the center of the image appearing too bright. Therefore, the correct answer is b. capping, center.
