Black Artifacts on Digital Xrays

[rideforever]

Most artifacts are white.
I believe that on older film Xray black artifacts also sometimes occurred due to handling errors.
Can anyone provide information photos or reseources for black artifacts on digital xrays ?
Thank you

Are you encountering numerous radiolucent artifacts?

It's a technical enquiry, does anyone know the technical details of black artifacts ?

Never seen black artifacts on digital films, only white. It may be something specific to the type of system, the software, the machinery, the handling, .... What else can I say unless you show us an example?!

I thought there might be some expertise on the matter here.
I have read that on digital xrays the only black artifacts come from flecks of metal left over in the sensor ... these appear as geometric shapes reflecting the flecks that create them, rectangles and geometric shapes like that. They are quite easy to identify.

But I would like to know if anyone knows of any other black artifacts on digital xrays or has resources to point to which have the info.
