aliasing /ali·as·ing/ (a´le-as-ing)
1. introduction of an artifact or error in sampling of a periodic signal when the sampling frequency is too low to capture the signal properly.
2. in pulsed Doppler ultrasonography, an artifact occurring when the velocity of the sampled object is too great for the Doppler frequency to be determined by the system.
3. an artifact occurring in magnetic resonance imaging when a part being examined is larger than the field of view; an image of the area outside the field of view appears as an artifact inside the field of view.

aliasing,
an artifact that is caused by undersampling of signal data in diagnostic imaging.
