Case Discussion
A second exposure was done without "erassour" after the first exposure resulted in an error that prompted a repeat which resulted in the artifact seen above .
X-ray artifacts present in a variety of ways and image compositing (or twin/double exposure) is common due to double exposure of the same film or plate. A repeat exposure in Computed radiography and film radiography without erasing the imaging plate or changing the film after the first exposure can result in such an artifact.
