Artifacts from Dental Casting Alloys in Magnetic Resonance Imaging
The potential advantage of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been limited by artifacts due to the presence of metallic materials. For quantitative evaluation of the magnitude of artifacts from dental casting alloys and implant materials in MR imaging, 11 dental casting or implant materials were imaged by means of 1.5 T MRI apparatus with three different sequences. Mean and standard deviation of water signal intensity (SI) around the sample in the region of interest (1200 mm2) were determined, and the coefficient of variation was compared for evaluation of the homogeneity of the SI. A variety of artifacts with different magnitudes was observed. Only one of the samples, composed mainly of Pd, In, and Sb, showed no artifacts in all imaging sequences. We concluded that selection of specific dental casting alloys according to their elemental compositions could minimize the metal artifacts in MRI; however, titanium alloys currently pose a problem with respect to causing MRI artifacts.
