Like my classmates, I also believe the artifact illustrated in the images above is an IVC filter. Even though the artifact interfere with the anatomy in question in the radiograph to the right, it cannot be moved out of the way because is inside the patient. In my opinion, this image is clinically acceptable so I would not repeat this exam. However the technical factors were not optimal to acquire these images. This would be something I would have in consideration when performing the next exam.

the artifacts appears to be a zipper. It is getting in the way of soft tissue anatomy and bone, so it must be repeated.

The artifact in this image looks like a dangling ear ring that the patient had on during the radiograph. Ear rings a supposed to be removed if the are in the area of interest for the x-ray. Therefore this image will need to be repeated.

The artifact on the images above is an inferior vena cava filter.An IVC is a type of vascular filters, a medical device that is implanted into the inferior vena cava to prevent pulmonary emboli. I wouldn't repeat the image.
