This report described a case in which diagnostic radiographs showed irregular dense radiopaque strings and curved lines in the head and neck area. These artifacts could lead to misinterpretation since they may obscure anatomical structures and/or mask critical structures/pathologies. A more detailed history of the patient indicated that these strings originated from a facelift procedure in which a gold-wire technique was used. Considering that such intervention may cause a radiodiagnostic burden, it should be included in the anamnesis prior to radiography.
本报告描述了一例病例，诊断性X光片显示头颈部区域有不规则的致密不透射线的条索状和曲线状影像。这些伪影可能导致误诊，因为它们可能会掩盖解剖结构和/或掩盖关键结构/病变。患者更详细的病史表明，这些条索状影起源于一次面部提升手术，术中使用了金线技术。鉴于这种干预可能会造成放射诊断负担，在进行放射检查之前，应将其纳入病史记录中。
