Sound is attenuated as it passes through tissue, with more attenuation through solids than liquids. Note that the distance 'x' between the mirrored parts of the artery is the same. The artifact is always deeper.

Sometimes ultrasound waves not only propagate along the axis of the beam but also radiate towards the side.

The artifact is always deeper. ← ultrasound artifact quick recognition: Ultrasound imaging artifacts are ultrasound image illusions. The mirror artifact is similar to the reverberation artifact.
