Artifacts in breast elastography are very common and occur in both strain elastography and shear wave elastography. Understanding these artifacts is important to limit inaccurate intrepretation leading to false positive or false negative results. Several of these artifacts have diagnostic information which can be used to improve diagnostic performance. The artifacts seem can be seen only in strain elastography or only in shear wave elastography. The ability to perform both strain and shear wave elastography can often allow the recognisition of the artifacts and improve the diagnostic accuracy of elastography in breast imaging.
