This section describes what happens when the scanner does not behave as expected and an image artifact is created. **An image artifact is any feature which which appears in an image which is not present in the original imaged object. An image artifact is sometime the result of improper operation of the imager, and other times a consequence of natural processes or properties of the human body**. It is important to be familiar with the appearance of artifacts because artifacts can obscure, and be mistaken for, pathology. Therefore, image artifacts can result in false negatives and false positives.

: And I think the authors of the source goofed ... it should have been "artefacto".//It's not the Englilsh spelling I was commenting on ... I think the word "artificio" in the Spanish source should have been "artefacto".

Well, at least they come from the same Latin root. See:

: I understand that this is an MRI report. The image shows something that isn't normally expected, namely screws in the L4 and L5 vertebrae.

Reference:
artefact / artifact
I prefer to use "artefact" in radiology texts to distinguish between this specific meaning and the more general sense (clever or artful skill, device or strategy). Webster's spellings remain subjective and/or contentious to this day.
