These artifacts mimic sediment and the author has even received images suggesting this artifact was a mass. Think about the artifact in terms of gravity dependency because sediment and calculi will settle into the bladder lumen and be best viewed within the “CC pouch.” Lowering the gain eliminates the artifact whereas true sediment persists, and color Doppler can assess for flow (no flow = either artifact or thrombus versus flow = a mass).
